BEIRUT, Lebanon, Sept. 22 — Defying Israel and the United States, Hezbollah’s leader, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, appeared at a giant “victory’’ rally today and declared that the militant group had 20,000 rockets and would never disarm.

“No army in the world is strong enough to disarm us,’’ he told a cheering crowd that appeared to number in the hundreds of thousands.

Mr. Nasrallah’s very presence here today was meant to underscore the idea that Hezbollah had triumphed over Israel, which has vowed to kill him. It was the first time Mr. Nasrallah had been seen in public since July 12th, when he announced the capture of two Israeli soldiers in a cross-border raid, the event that precipitated the 34-day war.
