Nahal Ayun[1] (Hebrew: נחל עיון, lit. Ayun Stream),[2] sometimes spelled Nahal Iyyon, in Arabic: براغيث Bureighit,[3] or in full Nahr Bareighit,[4] is a perennial stream and a tributary of the Jordan River.[1] The stream originates from two springs in the Marjayoun (Merj 'Ayun) valley in southern Lebanon,[5] runs southward for seven kilometers through various irrigation ditches, then flows into Israel near Metulla, where it continues through the Hula Valley in the Galilee Panhandle[6] until emptying in the Hasbani River just before it reaches the Jordan River.[4]
