Montasser el-Zayat, known for representing Islamist militants in court, said Tuesday that the detainees are suspected of supplying Hamas with money and one Lebanese in particular is suspected of acting as liaison between Hezbollah and Hamas in Gaza.

The Interior Ministry would neither confirm nor deny the arrests.

Egypt is very sensitive about the presence of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip on its border and has several times arrested suspected fundraisers for the militants
