South Lebanon Water Establishment said that shutting down power plants will negatively affect their ability to pump sufficient quantities of water into the area. The Zahrani power plant, the last and only plant still providing electricity in Lebanon, reportedly shut down on Saturday, Sawt Beirut International reported on X, citing Lebanon's electric corporation, Électricité du Liban.

The Jerusalem Post could not access Lebanon's Electric Corporation's website.

Ah, the corniche, the King George hotel, the skii sites and the beaches with beauties from all over the world. Oh, Lebanon was such a wonderful country—and then the French walked away.
