JERUSALEM, Israel -- Hezbollah chief Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah has threatened Israel with war once again.

This week he warned of Hezbollah's extensive weapons cache and threatened to invade the Galilee in the next war.

"We are ready to intervene there [in the Galilee] and take over. We have everything we need to fight Israel in the future," Nasrallah said.

Lebanese television aired the interview conducted in his underground bunker, believed to be somewhere in southern Lebanon. The terror chief rarely appears in public.

Meanwhile, outgoing IDF intelligence head Brig. Gen. Itai Brun also believes Hezbollah would likely send its fighters into Israel in the next war.

"Unlike in the Second Lebanon War, I believe that next time we will see Hezbollah sources on Israel soil," Brun said in an interview with Israel Hayom.

"They will come in two forms: one will be terror attacks -- pinpoint strikes in Nahariya or Shlomi or Ma'alot [in northern Israel] -- and the other will be more substantial operations to grab territory inside Israel," he predicted.

Brun also believes Hezbollah has gotten hold of some of Syria's non-conventional weapons.

"In the end, Bashar [Assad] has in fact been using chemical weapons on his people throughout all of last year…He uses them on his own population and to us it seems very natural that terrorist organizations will get their hands on these kinds of weapons or that they will be transferred to Hezbollah," he said.

Brun said Hezbollah planned to fire 1,000 missiles a day at Israel in the next war.
