"A UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) was launched toward the prime minister's residence in Caesarea," Netanyahu's office said in a statement.
Neither he nor his wife were home and there were no casualties, said the statement.
It was not immediately clear whether the structure reported hit by the military earlier was his private residence.
Hezbollah said Friday that it planned to launch a new phase of fighting by sending more guided missiles and exploding drones into Israel.
Hezbollah said it fired rockets at northern Israel, including at an army base near the city of Haifa and the northern town of Safed after the Israeli army reported 115 projectiles launched from Lebanon.
A "large salvo" of advanced rockets hit a military base east of Haifa, said Hezbollah, which has vowed to intensify attacks on Israel, which launched an all-out war on Lebanon on 23 September.
Israeli emergency services said a man was killed by shrapnel near the port city of Acre. Five people were injured in Kiryat Ata, in the Haifa district, mostly from shrapnel injuries.
A rocket damaged a three-storey building and destroyed cars in Kiryat Ata, with firefighting teams and ambulances dispatched to the area, AFP footage showed.
Meanwhile, at least two Israeli airstrikes hit the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital Beirut, a security source told AFP.
AFP footage showed plumes of smoke rising over the area, less than an hour after the Israeli army issued a new evacuation order.
Earlier on Saturday, Lebanon's health ministry said two people were killed in an Israeli strike on a vital highway north of Beirut, in the first attack on the area.
Israeli strikes on Lebanon have so far killed 2,367 people, more than three-quarters of them in late September when Israel escalated its aggression.
