A water pumping station in the southern part of Lebanon that Israel has warned could be grounds for war began Tuesday feeding initially eight villages throughout the area.
Project manager Sherif Wehbeh told AFP that the station on the Wazzani river, close to the Israeli border, officially inaugurated on October 16, started distributing water to eight different villages in the Marjayoun region, namely, Talloussa, Bani Hayyan, Mhaybeeb, Markaba, Mays al-Jabal, Blida, Houla and Aadaysseh.
"Next week, the station will be distributing water to 40 villages in the Marjayoun and (nearby) Hasbaya regions," Wehbeh added. (Albawaba.com)
