Hezbollah in turn "fired hundreds of rockets and UAVs towards northern Israel", most of them after Israel launched its attack, Israeli military spokesperson Lieutenant-Colonel Nadav Shoshani told reporters.
The fire from Hezbollah was "part of a larger attack that was planned and we were able to thwart a big part of it this morning", Shoshani said, while declining to specify what Hezbollah had targeted.
"We're still in a situation assessment of the aftermath of the attack... there is still some fire happening," Shoshani said.
"But I can tell you there was a little damage... very little damage."
Shoshani said Israel's partners including the United States did not take part in Sunday's attack on Hezbollah.
"This morning was an Israeli operation," he said.
