It was Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's second speech since the war between Israel and Hamas began in October.
But the tit-for-tat shelling has been largely restricted to the border and Hezbollah has mostly struck military targets.
Israel tightened its siege of Hamas-ruled Gaza following the Oct. 7 cross-border assault by the group that Israel says killed around 1,200, with about 240 abducted as hostages back to the Palestinian enclave.
