Where does the Litani River discharge into the Mediterranean Sea?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Just north of Tyre (Sour)
- Step 1: After flowing south through the Beqaa, the Litani turns west through a deep canyon at Qasmiyeh.
- Step 2: It empties into the Mediterranean Sea roughly 6 kilometers north of Tyre.
Answer
Just north of Tyre (Sour).
Why not the others: 'Just south of Tripoli' is the outlet of the Abu Ali river; 'At the Bay of Jounieh' has no major river; 'At the border at Naqoura' has no river outlet.
