Hatsbani River – Moshav Beit Hillel, Upper Galilee, Israel

The Hatsbani River (sometimes referred to in Hebrew as Nahal Snir), is the major tributary of the Jordan River. The Hatsbani derives most of its discharge from two springs in Lebanon, the Wazzani and the Haqzbieh, the latter being a group of springs on the uppermost Hatsbani. The Hatsbani runs for 25 miles in Lebanon before crossing the border at Ghajar and shortly after joining with the Banias and Dan Rivers at a point in northern Israel, to form the River Jordan. For about four kilometers downstream of Ghajar, the Hatsbani forms the border between Lebanon and the Golan Heights.
