Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he would react with a "crushing" strike against "Hezbollah" if the Lebanese militant group attempts to make any attack.
Netanyahu's statements came while speaking to his Cabinet on Sunday during which he criticized what he called Nasrallah's "arrogant" words.
He noted that "if Hezbollah dares to do something stupid and attack Israel, we will strike it and Lebanon, a crushing military strike," the Associated Press reported.
Nasrallah announced on Friday that his group is much stronger than during the 2006 war and is capable of striking anywhere in Israel.
He also said Nasrallah he had decreased the number of his movement's fighters in Syria.
Nasrallah's statements came after Washington announced new sanctions against Hezbollah, targeting elected officials from the movement for the first time.
