Naftali Mountains (Hebrew: הרי נפתלי) is a mountain range between Lebanon and Upper Galilee, Israel. The western side gradually changes into the highlands of southern Lebanon. The eastern side sharply descends into the Hula Valley of Israel.
They are a part of the watershed between the basins of the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River.
The area was the place of heavy fighting in 1948 during the 1948 Palestine war.
