Nassim Nissir freed

Al-Jazeera reports on Israel's release of Nassim Nissir, a Lebanese man jailed for spying on behalf of Hizbollah:

Nissir crossed into Lebanon after serving a six-year term. He has an Israeli Jewish mother and a Lebanese Muslim father and held Israeli citizenship at the time of his arrest.

He first joined his mother's family in Israel in 1982, during an Israeli invasion of Lebanon.

Nissir's brother Mohammed said Nassim told him in a phone call a month ago that "his jailers had placed him in solitary confinement in a bid to persuade him to abandon his plans to return to Lebanon with his two daughters, who are Israeli citizens".
