Ein Qiniyye (Arabic: عين قنية; Template:Lang-he-n) is an Israeli Druze village in the Golan Heights. Ein Qiniyye was granted local council status in 1982.
According to the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), Ein Qiniyye had a population of 1,900 in 2006. The village is located at the foot of Mount Hermon, 750 meters above sea level.
Some of the young people of the village study at Syrian universities, although a Druze cleric advised them against applying until the war was over.[1]According to a resident of Ein Qiniyye, his relatives in Syria believe that the anti-government protests are backed by the United States and Israel, and want Assad to remain in power.[2]
