In a short statement, the army said it had monitored the aircraft throughout the incident. It also said troops found the remnants of a Hezbollah drone shot down several weeks earlier after crossing into Israeli airspace from Lebanon.
The army said it would "continue to operate in order to prevent any attempt to violate Israeli sovereignty."
The statement did not say what means were used to bring the two drones down.
In November, the IDF also said it downed a Hezbollah drone that entered Israeli airspace.
Israel has acknowledged several incidents in recent years in which its own drones have been lost during missions along the Lebanese frontier, with Iranian-backed Hezbollah claiming to have shot them down.
Hezbollah, which fought a war with Israel in 2006, is the dominant presence in Lebanon's south near the border with Israel. The terrorist group has vowed to bring down Israeli drones breaching Lebanese airspace.
