Carmel (Hebrew: כרמל Karmel) is an Israeli settlement in south-east Har Hebron area of the West Bank, close by the Palestinian villagers of Umm al-Kheir, who settled there several decades ago after Israel expelled them from the Arad desert, and who purchased the land from residents in the Palestinian village of Yatta. According to David Shulman, Carmel lies on lands appropriated from the Bedouin of that village. It falls under the jurisdiction of the Har Hebron Regional Council and associates ideologically with the Amana settlement movement.
