Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah said Saturday that his group will do all it takes to win the release of Lebanese prisoners held in Israeli jails, including kidnapping Israel Defense Forces soldiers.

Nasrallah was speaking at a Beirut rally marking the one-year anniversary of a hostage deal with Israel, in which Hezbollah and Israel exchanged hundreds of Lebanese and other Arab prisoners, including senior guerrilla figures, for kidnapped Israeli businessman Elhanan Tennenbaum and the bodies of three Israel Defense Forces soldiers Hezbollah abducted in 2000.

"Everyday, the Zionist enemy declares that the Hezbollah leadership has taken a strategic decision to capture Israeli soldiers," Nasrallah said during a rally south of Beirut, the Lebanese capital.

"I confirm that all options are open."

the Lebanese newspapers As-Safir and Al-Mustaqbal reported that Nasrallah was to announce details regarding the second stage of a prisoner exchange deal with Israel. But such details were not mentioned in the speech.

In October 2004, Nasrallah said there had been new German-brokered talks for the release of Lebanese and Arab prisoners held by Israel.

A second stage of the deal was to focus on the fate of Ron Arad, the Israel Air Force navigator who went missing over Lebanon in 1986, and deal with Samir al-Qantar, the Lebanese held longest in Israel, which sentenced him to 542 years in jail for killing four Israelis in 1979.
