Israel’s military said the strike targeted a senior Hezbollah member wanted by the U.S. for a series of bombings in the 1980s.

First came two days of exploding pagers and walkie-talkies used by Hezbollah — deadly attacks pinned on Israel that also maimed civilians around Lebanon. Hezbollah's leader vowed to retaliate, and on Friday the militant group launched dozens of rockets into northern Israel.

The U.N. Security Council is due to meet after Lebanon filed a complaint over the attacks on Hezbollah pagers, radios and other communications devices.
