The Israeli military said drones and projectiles had crossed its territory from Lebanon.
The drones infiltrated the coastal area of Rosh HaNikra and were intercepted by the military's defences, the military said, adding several rockets were also intercepted.
An Israeli air strike on Friday killed five Syrian soldiers near the border with Lebanon, the official news agency SANA reported, citing a military source.
"The Israeli enemy carried out an aerial attack... on one of our military positions near Kfar Yabus on the Syrian-Lebanese border," SANA quoted the source as saying, adding that five Syrian soldiers were killed and one was wounded.
The raid came a day after the Israeli army said its warplanes struck infrastructure along the Syria-Lebanon border as tens of thousands of people were fleeing Israeli bombardment in Lebanon to neighbouring Syria.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor said Israeli warplanes targeted a crossing that links Syria's Qusayr area to Lebanon, causing "a number of wounded".
The Britain-based monitor, which relies on a network of sources on the ground, said it was the first such strike on Syria since Israel intensified its attacks on Lebanon's Hezbollah this week.
Since Monday, Iraeli strikes on Lebanonn have killed at least 700 people and wounded 2600 others, Al-Manar TV reported citing Lebanon's health ministry.
