	Lake Hula — Lake Agmon
		The drainage of Lake Hula and its surrounding swamps in the 1950s was the epitome of the attempts to alter the environment to suit human needs.
		John MacGregor, a Scottish traveller to the Hula Valey in the 1860s, commented in his notes that in his opinion, the entire lake and swamps could be drained in one year by digging a 400-yard-long, 20 feet-deep canal at the outlet.
		Furthermore, even though the Hula Nature Reserve was created to preserve much of the character and nature of the original lake and swamps, after the draining, 119 animal species were lost to the region, of which 37 were totally lost from Israel.

	Aspects of Shi'i Thought From The South of Lebanon - Chibli Mallat
		The South of Lebanon, dominated by a tight social structure under the control of a few landed families such as the As’ads, the Zeins, and the ‘Oseyrans, the Zu’ama, and by an agriculture increasingly dependent on the monoculture of tobacco, was by 1975 boiling with unrest.
		In the case of Iraq and Lebanon, the operation of the mujtahids is therefore constrained by high volatility, and the relation of the muqallids to their mujtahid tends to follow a pattern akin to a Weberian charismatic model.
		Furthermore, such a theory as applied in Lebanon would secure their preeminence: as vice-president of the Supreme Shi’i council, (and in effect, with the absence of Musa as-Sadr, the leader of the council) Shamseddin is the inevitable candidate for a Lebanese Islamic state leadership.
