Nasrallah made the comments in an interview broadcast on Qatari television station al-Jazeera.

Nasrallah added that no Hezbollah leaders were injured in a massive Israeli air raid on a south Beirut target Wednesday night. Nasrallah denied Israeli claim that 50 percent of his organization's power has been destroyed.

The capture of two Israeli soldiers by Hezbollah militants and rocket attacks on Israeli border areas prompted Israel to began pounding heavily Hezbollah stronghold in southern Lebanon on July 12.

Israel has demanded unconditional release of the captive soldiers and pullback of Hezbollah guerrillas from the border as condition for ceasefire.
