The prosecution in a trial of 26 alleged Hezbollah members charged with planning attacks in Egypt demanded the death sentence on Tuesday, a judicial source said.

The prosecutor made the request during a hearing at the emergency state security court trying the high-profile case, which has damaged relations between Egypt and Hezbollah.

He called for “the harshest sentence against the defendants,” the judicial source said. The trial will resume on February 20.
