Ein Carmel (Template:Lang-he-n, lit. Carmel Spring) is a kibbutz in northern Israel. Located near Atlit, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hof HaCarmel Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 928.

History

The kibbutz was established in 1950 by former residents of Ein HaYam and Ramat Rachel.[2] It is located one kilometre west of the former Arab village of al-Mazar, which was depopulated in the 1948 Arab–Israeli War and some of the houses of Ein Carmel are land that had belonged to the village.[3]
