What you will see
Sakhnīn is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 12:59:31 local time, the Moon hides 76.6% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 11:40:16 and ends at 14:15:53, 2 h 36 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 75° above the horizon, towards the south, so you want a clear view in that direction from Sakhnīn.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 653 km south-west of Sakhnīn.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Samālūţ, about 670 km south-west, where totality lasts 2 m 49 s.
Totality is shortest at the edges of the path and longest along the centre line, so the further inside you go, the longer it lasts.
Eye safety guide: Never look at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses, except during totality.
