The planned infrastructure project will identify underground acoustic and seismic activities showing the tunneling, an Israeli Army spokesman said.
Last year, Israel destroyed a series of tunnels suspected of the attack that had been dug down the border by Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.
Construction is reported to be on the Israeli side of the border, and the United Nations peacekeeping force has been informed.
Whatever we're doing today is part of a bigger plan. It's a preliminary issue, “said an army spokesman.
Israel has recently issued a warning that Hezbollah has increased its presence along the unstable border.
The war between Israel and Hezbollah ended in 2006, with the mediation of the United States, and since then direct fighting has been rare, although there has been occasional violence.
Hezbollah, closely linked to Iran, Israel's biggest enemy, has pledged revenge for the murder of an Iranian general in an American air strike earlier this month.
