Nasrallah told Al-Mayadeen television that his powerful Shiite movement has had Iranian Fateh-110 missiles that could strike throughout Israel since 2006, adding that it is always ready to fight the Jewish state.
Nasrallah, a key ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, has sent thousands of fighters into Syria to help defend the regime.
He said that Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) strikes on Syria "target the whole of the resistance axis," which includes Hezbollah, Damascus and Tehran.
"The repeated bombings that struck several targets in Syria are a major violation, and we consider that any strike against Syria is a strike against the whole of the resistance axis, not just against Syria," he told the Beirut-based Arab news television.
Asked about Hezbollah's arsenal, Nasrallah said the group had "all [the weapons] you can imagine ... and in great quantities."
Israel and Hezbollah fought a devastating war in the summer of 2006 that killed some 1,200 Lebanese, most of them civilians, and 160 Israelis, most of them soldiers.
According to Pentagon officials, Hezbollah has 50,000 missiles, including some capable of reaching Tel Aviv.
The Israeli air force has carried out several raids against targets in Syria, including depots storing weapons meant for Hezbollah, since the conflict there started nearly four years ago.
The most recent strike was in December, when Israeli warplanes struck weapons warehouses near Damascus, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group.
Israel has never confirmed it carried out the strikes, but it says it has a policy of preventing arms transfers to militant groups including Hezbollah.
Israeli media said, however, after the December strikes that the air force had targeted arms convoys.
Nasrallah said Hezbollah is ready to fight a new war against Israel in Lebanon and renewed a threat to invade the Galilee region of northern Israel.
"When the resistance [Hezbollah] leadership ... asks you [fighters]... to enter into Galilee, that means the resistance must be ready to enter into Galilee and to go even beyond the Galilee."
