Al-Wazzani (Al-Ouazzani, also known as Arab al-Louaizeh or Aarab El Louaizeh),[1] is a municipality in the Marjayoun District of the Nabatieh Governorate, on the banks of the Hasbani River.
The village is located about 1 km from the Wazzani Spring, a major source of the Hasbani, which is a tributary of the Jordan River.
[4] In March 2002 Lebanon also diverted part of the Hasbani to supply Wazzani village, an action that then Prime Minister of Israel, Ariel Sharon, said was a "casus belli" and could lead to war.
[5][6][7][8] The pumping station was destroyed during the 2006 Lebanon War.
[9][10] In 2014 Muslims made up 100% of registered voters in Al-Wazzani.
