This woman is Nada Rizk. Gary has the tape of her with her photo above on it. It’s not great, but not awful, either. Gary freaked out when I read him this, which I found via Google:

Female singer convicted of collaboration with Israel

The Military Tribunal has convicted in absentia a singer who performed in Israel of collaboration with the Jewish state and sentenced her to 15 years in prison at hard labor. Nada Rizk was also fined LL2 million for “serving in the (Israeli) enemy army, contacting its agents and entering the country without prior permission.”

The verdict was handed down Thursday and posted on a court bulletin board Friday.

In February, the court accused Rizk of frequently visiting Israel, giving an interview on Israel radio on Oct. 24 about her singing career, and of marrying Abdel-Basset Ahmed bin Oudeh, an Arab-Israeli whom the military claimed worked for the Israeli intelligence service, Mossad.

Rizk is believed to be living in Israel.

Her brother, Beshara, has been serving a six-month prison sentence in Lebanon for collaboration with Israel and the South Lebanon Army, a militia that helped Israel police the border zone.

  1. I was so sad to see this article, Nada was a friend of mine…we went to the same school and church choir. I left lebanon in the early 90’s when she was starting her professional singing courier.

    Do you have any news about her, i know this was years ago, but I am just wondering…
