The Litani River in Southern Lebanon, just 30km from Israel’s border, is vital for agriculture and supplies water to 20% of Lebanon's population.

It’s now central to the Israel-Hezbollah conflict, lying at the edge of a UN-designated buffer zone set after Israel’s 2000 withdrawal. The UN’s UNIFIL monitors this area, but tensions persist.
