Israel-Hezbollah exchanges intensify after Lebanon pager blasts

Exchanges are intensifying between Israel and Hezbollah after the explosions of thousands of Hezbollah devices in Lebanon.

Israel said Friday it had pounded the Iran-backed militant group in overnight strikes, just hours after the group's leader vowed retribution for the blasts that targeted its communication devices.

A source close to the movement later said a top military leader was among several killed in a strike on Beirut, which Israel said was "targeted".
