Nasrallah to Deliver Speech on Latest Developments on Friday
Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is scheduled to make a speech on Friday to tackle the latest local and regional developments.
The speech will be held during a ceremony for al-Mahdi Scouts.
His appearance is set for around 4:45 on Friday afternoon.
The Hizbullah secretary general last made a political speech on May 24 during which he warned that al-Mustaqbal Movement and its leaders would be “the first victims” if the Islamic State and al-Nusra Front take a foothold in Lebanon, vowing that his group would try and eliminate the two groups' militants from the outskirts of the Bekaa border town of Arsal if the Lebanese state failed to do so.
The cabinet on Thursday tasked the Lebanese army on Thursday with taking necessary measures to deploy inside the northeastern border town of Arsal to protect it against militant attacks.
Media speculation has surrounded the town in recent weeks in the wake of Hizbullah's battles againt jihadist groups in the neighboring al-Qalamoun area in Syria.
Fears have grown lately over the possible infiltration of extremists to the town.
