Al Wazzani (Al-Ouazzani^[1]), also known as Arab Louaize or Aarab El Louaizeh,^[2] is a small Lebanese village in the Hasbaya 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.^[3] The village has about 200 residents.^[2]

In 2001 the Lebanese government installed a small pumping station with a 10 cm bore near the village, to supply water to the village as well the nearby villages al-Teiba^[4] and Ghajar.^[5] 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.^[6][7][8][9] The pumping station was destroyed during the 2006 Lebanon War.
