Source-derived summary

Ein Carmel (Hebrew: עֵין כַּרְמֶל, lit. 'Carmel Spring') is a kibbutz in northern Israel. Located near Atlit, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hof HaCarmel Regional Council. In 2024 it had a population of 797.

History

The kibbutz was established in 1950 by former residents of Ein HaYam and Ramat Rachel, a kibbutz that had been destroyed during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. The founding charter of the kibbutz was signed at the end of the war by four adults and two children from each of the groups of settlers.

The village is located one kilometer from the former Palestinian village of al-Mazar, which was depopulated during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. Most residents had fled in May 1948, two months before the village was destroyed during an operation in mid-July.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2024, 1950, 1948—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1947-01-01. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Carmel, kibbutz and Israel providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Ein Carmel”, the useful work is to connect “kibbutz in Israel” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1000987. VIAF identifies the subject as 316601437. Authority coordinates are 32.676, 34.953. 2 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2024, 1950 and 1948.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
