Islam is present throughout Israel, including its northern regions, and is the country's second-largest religion after Judaism. As of 2022, Muslims constituted 18.1% of Israel's total population [1]. The majority of this population consists of Arab citizens of Israel, who are the largest ethnic minority in the country [2].

According to www.iAsk.Ai - Ask AI:

While Islam is found across Israel, a significant portion of the Muslim population resides in the Northern District. In 2020, approximately 35.2% of the Arab Muslim population lived in the Northern District [18]. Other districts with notable Muslim populations include the Jerusalem District (21.9%), Central District (17.1%), and Haifa District (13.7%) [18].

The city of Haifa, located in northern Israel, is home to a diverse population that includes a significant Muslim community. While the Wadi Nisnas and Abbas neighborhoods are largely Christian, the Khalisa and Kababir neighborhoods are largely Muslim [106]. Haifa also serves as the Middle East headquarters for the Ahmadiyya Islamic movement, with about 2,200 Ahmadis residing in Kababir [22] [24].

Historically, during the British Mandate, there were seven Shia Twelver majority villages in northern Israel, near the border with Lebanon. However, these villages were depopulated during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and their residents fled to Lebanon, making Twelver Shias a very tiny minority in Israel today [^wiki_islam_in_israel]. The overwhelming majority of Muslims in Israel are Sunnis, with a smaller Ahmadiyya minority [16] [17].
