List of rivers of Israel

This is a list of rivers of Israel. This list is arranged by drainage basin, with respective tributaries indented under each larger stream's name.

Nahal (Hebrew, wiktionary:נחל) and Wadi (Arabic) commonly translate to Stream, more seldom River. Both words, when used as common nouns, also signify '(stream/river) valley'.

Streams entirely on the West Bank are not listed here.

Mediterranean Sea

edit

Rivers emptying into the Mediterranean Sea, listed from north to south.

Dead Sea

edit

Rivers emptying into the Dead Sea. Tributaries of the Jordan River are listed north to south, where needed east to west.

The Golan Heights, by international law, are part of Syria. Much of the region has been annexed by Israel, a move only recognised by the United States. Some of the Golan Heights streams cross into internationally recognised Israeli territory, while some don't. For the sake of a comprehensive hydrological overview, the Golan tributaries of the Jordan River via the lake are tentatively listed here for now.

Five streams - the Jordan plus four more - run through the Bethsaida Valley (Batikha or Buteikha in Arabic), the first four forming the Meshushim and Zaki Lagoons before reaching the Sea of Galilee.
