Hizbullah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah said in a fiery speech on Saturday that his group had the "heads" and "body parts" of Israeli soldiers, as well as "a nearly intact cadaver".
Nasrallah, one of Israel's most wanted men, appeared in public for the first time in more than a year to attend a Shiite religious event in the Lebanese capital of Beirut on Saturday.
"We have the heads, the hands, the feet and even a nearly intact cadaver from the head down to the pelvis," he said.
"The Israeli army left behind the remains of the bodies of a large number of soldiers," said Nasrallah.
Meanwhile, relatives of abducted Israeli soldiers Eldad Regav and Ehud Goldwasser chose not to respond to Nasrallah's latest message. Regev's brother, Eyal, said that the statements made by the Hizbullah leader do not pertain to the two abducted soldiers, so there was no point in responding to them.
Other family members noted that Nasrallah made similar comments in the past. "It's unclear what he's talking about," one relative said.
Nasrallah addressed what he viewed as a new sensitive point – the farmers, fishermen and other Lebanese, who are "being threatened by Israel".
"We won't be able to keep silent for long over the fact that the farmers, the fellahs, the fishermen and the shepherds are in danger, and under the UN force's eyes. I warn them, and they know we are serious.
"If Israel launches a new war against Lebanon, we promise them a war which will change battle and the fate of the entire region, God willing."
He went on to say that "Israel is practicing foot-dragging because it is weak, humiliated and cannot provide the natural and human price for it."
Turning to the Israeli public, the Hizbullah leader said, "Oh, Zionists your army is lying to you... Your army has left the body parts of your soldiers in our villages and fields.
"Our mujahideen used to fight these Zionists, killing them and collecting their body parts. I am not talking about regular body parts. I tell the Israelis, we have the heads of your soldiers, we have hands, we have legs."
Surrounded by dozens of bodyguards, Nasrallah walked through the Hizbullah stronghold in the southern suburbs of Beirut toward a stadium where he was to deliver a speech commemorating Ashura, Shiite Islam's holiest day
