Hussniyya (Arabic: حسينية; Hebrew: חוסנייה) is a Bedouin village in northern Israel. Located in the Galilee near Karmiel, it falls under the jurisdiction of Misgav Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 545.
The village was recognized by the state in 1996. Its inhabitants belong to the Swaid tribe.[1]
The women of Hussniya offer guided tours of the area focusing on picking and cooking wild plants. Zahiya Swaid heads a group of women who attended a business development course and now earn a living from the age-old Bedouin tradition of foraging wild plants for food and medicinal purposes.[2]
