A statement from the military said that the UAV was being tracked the entire time. It did not specify how the drone was downed when it breached Israeli airspace.
A picture of the drone released by the military showed a small quadcopter that did not appear to be armed.
"The IDF will continue to act to prevent violations of the State of Israel's sovereignty," the statement said.
There was no immediate statement from Hezbollah nor affiliated media outlets on the drone.
Tuesday's incident came a day after the anniversary of the United States drone strike that killed Iranian Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani, who was responsible for Iran's overseas operations and backing of armed groups such as Hezbollah.
In August, the IDF similarly said it downed a drone belonging to Hezbollah, days after the largest exchange of fire on the border since the 2006 Second Lebanon War between Israel and the Iran-backed terror group.
