Haifa Muslim Cemetery in Nesher

Haifa Muslim Cemetery in Nesher, Islamic cemetery in Nesher, Israel.

The Haifa Muslim Cemetery in Nesher is a walled burial ground on Waqf land at 70 Derech HaShalom, formerly Kikar HaHistadrut, in the Jewish neighbourhood founded beside the Nesher cement factory in 1923. Two structures stand on the site, and the southern one was under repair by volunteers from September 2022. A concrete bridge carrying Road 752 passes over the cemetery's southern edge.

In 1933 Haifa's waqf asked to bury the city's Muslims beside Balad al-Sheikh, inside the Jewish neighbourhood founded by the Nesher factory in 1923. Residents protested to the Mandate district commissioner, but the waqf prevailed: sheds on the allotted land were demolished by December 1933 and the cemetery opened in 1934. It closed around the late 1930s; a headstone dated 1938 remains.

The cemetery is named for Haifa's Muslim community, not for the village of Balad al-Sheikh, whose own cemetery lies in Tel Hanan on Avraham Peretz Street. Volunteers from a Nazareth-based association that tends Muslim cemeteries nationwide clean the grounds each year, and Friday prayers have been held inside the cemetery during the 2020s protest encampment.

The cemetery lies at 70 Derech HaShalom in Nesher, formerly Kikar HaHistadrut. Highway 752 (Derech Bar Yehuda) passes over it on a bridge, and the grave of Izz ad-Din al-Qassam stands north of the bridge, at some distance from it. Volunteers restored the southern of the two buildings on the grounds in September 2022.

The cemetery holds the grave of Izz ad-Din al-Qassam, killed by British forces on 20 November 1935; his funeral procession set out from the al-Jarina mosque and ended here. In May 2014 the grave was defaced with Star of David graffiti and the words "price tag". A 2022 protest banner on the fence wrongly dated the cemetery to 1930 and attributed it to the village of Balad al-Sheikh.
