Israeli Army Radio, citing data from minister Ze’ev Elkin, says some 2,900 buildings were damaged in northern Israel during the offensive with Hezbollah, Al Jazeera reports.
About 19 per cent of the damage was caused by the Israeli military, it said.
The damage is estimated at 9 billion shekels ($2.5bn), the outlet said.
It added that of the 67,500 Israelis who evacuated their homes, some 19,000 have now returned.
