Lebanon Warned Not to Divert Water from Northern Israel
(Ha'aretz) - Prime Minister Ariel Sharon warned Lebanon Tuesday not to divert water from the Hatzbani springs in the north. Director of Military Intelligence Aharon Ze'evi said that Lebanon had completed the construction of the 16-inch-diameter pipeline, but had not yet installed a generator or pump. Brigadier General Yossi Peled, former Head of Northern Command, told Army Radio that Israel will be obliged to act to prevent the diversion of water even if it required the use of force. "When water is being stolen, despite our attempts to reach an agreement, the state may have to use force to prevent the theft," Peled said.
