Nissim Nasser

Nissim Nasser ( Hebrew נסים נסר, Arabic نسيم نسر Nasim Nisr ; * 1968 in Lebanon ) is a former spy for Hezbollah .

Life

His father is a Muslim, his mother a Jew, who converted to Islam after the wedding.

Nissim Nasser went to Israel in 1982 and was later granted citizenship under the Law of Return . There in Israel he began to “feel more like a Lebanese patriot and a Muslim”. In 2002 he was convicted of espionage for Hezbollah and received a 6-year prison sentence.

After serving his sentence (he was initially held in administrative detention in the Nitzan Detention Center), he was presented to the International Committee of the Red Cross in June 2008 on the border with Lebanon in Rosh ha-Nikra in exchange for a box of body parts of Israeli soldiers (mortal remains Israeli soldiers killed in the Second Lebanon War in 2006) and deported to Lebanon, his Israeli citizenship revoked (as part of the agreement on his return to Lebanon).

Israeli hopes that he could have been included as an object of exchange in the negotiations for the return of the kidnapped soldiers Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev had been dashed.
