The
Hasbani River ( /
ALA-LC:
al-Ḥāṣbānī; ) or
Snir Stream ( /
Nahal Snir), is the major
tributary of the
Jordan river. The Hasbani River 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 Hasbani. The Hasbani runs for 25 miles in Lebanon before crossing the border and 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 Hasbani forms the border between Lebanon and the Golan Heights.
