Hizbullah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is scheduled to deliver a speech through a large screen on Friday evening (17.30 GMT, 20.30 Beirut Time).

Sayyed Nasrallah would comment, during his speech set to be broadcasted by Al-Manar TV, on the latest Egyptian aggressive claims against Hizbullah.

Sayyed Nasrallah would also tackle the latest developments in Lebanon and the region, namely the forthcoming parliamentary elections, during the speech.

On Wednesday, Egypt's state prosecutor claimed that Hizbullah was plotting to carry out attacks inside the country and "spreading Shiite ideology in Egypt."

According to a statement from the prosecutor, "Egypt's attorney general received a note from state security about information confirmed by questioning about Hizbullah leaders sending some individuals to the county to attract members to work with the organization and persuade them to join its ranks with the aim of carrying out acts of aggression inside the country."

However, the statement did not give details of possible attacks.

Hizbullah stressed on many occasions that it had no activity outside Lebanon and that its sole focus was on countering ‘Israeli' threats against Lebanon and confronting any Zionist aggression on its soil.
