Northern Israel refers to the upper portion of Israel, encompassing the Galilee region, Golan Heights, and areas near the Lebanese and Syrian borders.
The term appears frequently in news coverage of cross-border conflicts and missile attacks: Hezbollah launched rockets into northern Israel.
Historically, it also refers to the ancient Kingdom of Israel that split from Judah around 930 BCE.
