This time, Nasrallah restored Qantar to Lebanon. He had been in jail since 1979 for killing five Israelis, including a child and a 31-year-old policeman, near the town of Nahariyah in northern Israel. He had crossed into Israel by boat from Tyre, in an operation known as Operation Nasr (Victory). An Israeli court sentenced him to 542 years in prison (99 years for every victim and 47 years for attacking an Israeli officer during interrogation). He spent 30 years of his sentence, and was welcomed to Lebanon as a national hero by Prime Minister Fouad al-Siniora and President Michel Suleiman.
