The town of Kabul (also spelled Kabul or Kabul al-Jalil) is located in the Galilee region of northern historic Palestine.

In 1948, during the end of the British Mandate period and the Arab–Israeli war, Kabul was situated near: Acre (Akka) — to the west, Nazareth — to the southeast, Haifa — to the southwest

After 1948, the town came under Israeli control and today is part of the Northern District of Israel, populated mainly by Palestinian Arab citizens of Israel.
