A town 22 km south-west of Jenin and north-east of Tulkarm, with 7,364 residents in 2007 and 8,471 in 2017.

Kafr Ra'i is one of the municipalities of Jenin governorate, about 23 km south-west of Jenin and north-east of Tulkarm.

It is known for olives and almonds and for livestock, with many residents working in public jobs or inside Israel. Its population was 7,364 in 2007 and 8,471 by 2017.

In January 2016 the Palestinian cabinet separated the hamlet of Rama administratively from Kafr Ra'i and created a village council for it.
