(Worthy News) – The Hezbollah terror group’s al-Manar television channel on Friday denied that a reservoir being constructed by Lebanon near the northern border will limit water flow to the tributaries of Israel’s Jordan River.
On Thursday Kan news cited unnamed Israeli officials as expressing concern that work on the reservoir will deplete Israel’s water supply by halting the flow of the Wazzani Stream, which feeds into Israel’s Snir (or “Hatzbani”) Stream — a major source of water for the Jordan River.
The officials said an attempt by Lebanon to limit the flow of water into Israel would contravene international law. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
