"We have to act as though all possibilities are real and open (against Israel) and we must always be ready for any eventuality," said Nasrallah, whose Shiite militant party is backed by Syria and Iran.

His comment marked the first time he has spoken so openly on the possibility of a renewed conflict with Israel since the war in Gaza began on December 27.
