Lebanese Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Friday vowed to push a war to deep inside Israel in a statement released by the group's al-Manar television.

"It will be war at all levels ... to Haifa and beyond Haifa," Nasrallah said in an audio message shortly after an Israeli air raid on his home and the group's headquarters.

"You want an open war, you will get an open war," he said.

He also claimed that Hezbollah had destroyed an Israeli warship off the coast of Beirut.
