My history is pretty weak, I wanted to understand the difference between these two groups; are bani israel same as the jews currently living in Israel(Palestine)? Are they descendants of bani israel? Anyway related to bani israel, other than being jews?

This question could also be a good fit for some ethnolgy site.... But history seems more appropriate here.– SassirCommented Nov 26, 2021 at 0:08

Israel is another name of the prophet Yaccub / Jacob (A.S) who is the son of ishaq / Isaac (A.S) who is the son of Ibrahim (A.S) .Allaah called him as Ya’coob in many verses and he mentioned him as Israel once in Chapter Aal-Imraan; Allaah Says (what means):
All food was lawful to the Children of Israel except what Israel [i.e. Jacob] had made unlawful to himself before the Torah was revealed.” [Quran 3:93]
Yaqub A.S had twelve sons, including Yusuf A.S. Twelve tribes were established through these twelve sons. The progeny of Yaqub A.S are called Bani Israel. Which literally means, children of Israel. Basically The difference between the Children of Israel and the Jews is that the children of Israel are a race and not a religion whereas Judaism is a religion and not a race.

Bani Israel are basically Arabs people belonging to region of modern day Palestine, Jordan, Lebonon and Syria. That includes Arab jews and Arab Christians. It no to do with religion but more to do with people of the region.

Banu or Bani are Derivatives of the word son. Israel is a complete name similar to israfeel. Israfeel is the name of the angel who will blow the horn of judgement day while israel is a name that was given to Jacob, the messenger of Allah according to the ibrahkmic text. Also according to the Jews and Christians, the name can mean the fighter of Allah. The sons of Israel dinesty comes from yahuza, the eldest son of Jacob who was accused to be the leader or putting yuasuf in the depth of the well. The dinestu of Israel and yahuza in turn were mentioned in the quran multiple times and the isareli jews believe that they are the chosen ones who were given multiple chances and failed and punished by Allah. The punishment is widely known amongst the rabi Jews. There is no difference between bani Israel and the state of Israel.
