In 2024 it had a population of 2,470. It is one of the four remaining Druze-Syrian communities on the Israeli-occupied side of Mount Hermon and the Golan Heights , together with Majdal Shams , Mas'ade and Buq'ata . Geographically a distinction is made between the Golan Heights and Mount Hermon, the boundary being marked by the Sa'ar Stream; however, administratively usually they are lumped together. Ein Qiniyye and Majdal Shams are on the Hermon side of the boundary, thus sitting on limestone, while Buq'ata and Mas'ade are on the Golan side, characterised by black volcanic rock (basalt). Since the adoption of the 1981 Golan Heights Law , Ein Qiniyye is under Israeli civil law , and incorporated into the Israeli system of local councils. Some of the young people of the village used to study at Syrian universities, but at the end of 2012 a Druze cleric advised them against applying until the Syrian Civil War was over.1 Israel Central Bureau of Statistics .
