Ein Ayala (Hebrew: עֵין אַיָּלָה, lit. Doe Spring) is a semi-cooperative moshav in northern Israel. Located at the foot of Mount Carmel around 20 km south of Haifa, it falls under the jurisdiction of the Hof HaCarmel Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 789.
The moshav was founded in 1949 by immigrants from Czechoslovakia on land which had previously belonged to the depopulated Arab village of Ayn Ghazal, according to Benny Morris.[1] However, Walid Khalidi writes that this is not correct, and that Ein Ayala is not on the land of Ayn Ghazal.[2]
Today the moshav's main industry is farming, mainly vegetables and fruit, although many residents work in nearby Haifa.
