Beirut:Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that any further attacks from Israel would result in soldiers and settlements on the border being 'in the circle of threats, targets and response'.

Nasrallah's comments come a day after the Lebanese militant group fired a barrage of anti-tank missiles into Israel in response to an earlier attack, triggering Israeli artillery fire.

The missile attack into Israel on Sunday did not inflict any casualties on the Israeli side.

It came after Hezbollah vowed to retaliate for an Israeli airstrike that killed two Hezbollah operatives in Syria and an Israeli drone strike on the group's stronghold south of Beirut in late August.

"We do not have any more red lines," Nasrallah said.

Israel considers Iran to be its greatest enemy, and Iran-backed Hezbollah to be its most immediate military threat.

Hezbollah has a battle-tested army that has been fighting alongside the forces of Syrian President Bashar Assad in Syria's civil war, and it is believed to possess an arsenal of some 130,000 missiles and rockets.
