Arbel is a moshav in northern Israel. Located on Mount Arbel next to the Sea of Galilee near Tiberias, it falls under the jurisdiction of Lower Galilee Regional Council. In 2015 its population was 673. Arbel was established in 1949 by demobilized soldiers on the lands of the depopulated Arab village of Hittin, whose residents fled/were expelled during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. It was initially a moshav shitufi, but became a moshav ovdim in 1959. ^ "List of localities, in Alphabetical order".
