The 2009 Hezbollah plot in Egypt involved the arrest of 49 men by Egyptian authorities in the five months preceding April 2009. Egypt accused them of being Hezbollah agents planning attacks against Israeli and Egyptian targets in the Sinai Peninsula.[1] The arrests led to tensions between the Egyptian government and Hezbollah, as well as between Egypt and Iran.[2]
Tension had been high since Israel's Gaza War. Hezbollah head Hassan Nasrallah had accused Egypt of being a partner to the killing of Palestinians there, saying if it did not open the Rafah crossing it would be considered a "partner in the killing of Palestinians by the IDF."[3]
The plot prompted the Egyptian government to officially designate Hezbollah a "terrorist group".[4]
