Nestled in the hills of northern Israel, Maghar is home to a unique mix of Druze, Muslims, and Christians who have coexisted for generations. With a population of approximately 22,000, the town comprises 60% Druze, 20% Muslims, and 20% Christians. The Druze, a historically significant and close-knit community, number around 150,000 in Israel, while larger populations live in Syria and Lebanon. Though scattered across different nations, the Druze maintain a deep unity shaped by their religious beliefs and historical experiences. In Israel, the Druze have integrated into society, serving in the military, government, and various professional fields, balancing their cultural heritage with their national identity.
