on Monday denied that his group possesses nuclear weapons and stressed that the abduction of "innocent people" in Syria cannot force his party to change its stances on the Syrian crisis.
"If the Israelis cross the limits in their aggression, we will not abide by any limits ... but the use of chemical weapons is haram (forbidden in Islam). We don't have chemical weapons and we don't need chemical weapons," said Nasrallah in an interview on the Beirut-based, pan-Arab al-Mayadeen television.
At the end of July, a number of Israeli officials warned against a possible transfer of Syrian chemical weapons to Hizbullah. The Syrian regime, gripped by an unprecedented revolt for 18 months, admitted in July for the first time that it possessed chemical weapons and threatened to use them in the event of foreign military intervention.
Nasrallah, who rarely grants interviews, said that in the case of "enemy attacks" against Leb, Hizbullah would not be content to "defend itself" but would also "enter Galilee".
"Our choices are unlimited and all options are on the table. (Israeli Defense Minister Ehud) Barak once told his soldiers that they might return to Leb and I told the resistance fighters to get ready for a day when they might have to enter the Galilee region and this option is still on the table," Nasrallah said.
