(Adds Israeli comment, possible resolution, paragraphs 6-8)

UNITED NATIONS, July 13 (Reuters) - The U.N. Security Council set an urgent meeting for Friday after Israel, responding to the capture of two of its soldiers by Hizbollah guerrillas, launched a wave of military strikes on Lebanon.

French U.N. Ambassador Jean-Marc de la Sabliere, the council president for July, told reporters the public meeting was being scheduled at the request of the Lebanese Mission to the United Nations.

He said Israel and Lebanon would be invited to address the 15-nation council, which also would hear a briefing by a U.N. official.

The meeting was set as Israel blockaded Lebanese ports and struck Beirut airport and two military air bases, expanding reprisals that have killed 53 civilians in Lebanon since Wednesday's seizure of the two Israelis. <more>

1. The Israeli government contains the real terrorists.

They are the ones who should be contained. Most Jews of conscience are opposed to what Israel is doing.
