Nasim Nisr (also spelled Nissim Nasser; Arabic: نسيم نصر; Hebrew: נסים נסר; born 1968), is a Lebanese and former Israeli citizen who was convicted of spying for Hezbollah.
Nisr was born in Lebanon in 1968 to a Muslim father and a Jewish mother who converted to Islam after her marriage.
[4] During his imprisonment, he gave up his Israeli citizenship, hoping to be included in a prisoner exchange deal.
His release in a prisoner exchange was a Hezbollah demand during the 2006 Lebanon War, which Israel refused.
However, on 1 June 2008, he was deported to Lebanon as part of a prisoner exchange for the remains of two Israeli soldiers killed during the war.
