It was found in Israel. I tried to find something like it but couldn't find any helpful info online.

Hello and welcome. I fixed the picture URLs for you.

As for a basic ID, it's an early Islamic fals. Both pics are upside-down. I'm not seeing enough of the writing left to even know where to look to find the date and mintmark; they're notoriously hard to find on Islamic bronzes. But if I had to guess, I'd guess 'Abbasid. Here's the zeno.ru page for 'Abbasid Palestine Province bronzes.
