No. The Israelites practice the Jewish religion. Many Canaanite's have converted to Judaism or have taken on traits of the Jewish religion.

Depends how "early." Before Moses, the religion that would later be called Judaism was based on the teachings of Abraham. From the time of Moses, the Hebrew (Israelite) religion is the Torah itself, its beliefs and laws. See the following link.What_did_abraham_and_moses_do_together

What was the faith of the Israelites known as?

In ancient times, religions did not tend to have special names, but were simply identified with the people who followed that religion, or with the god of the religion. Since the religion of early Israel and Judah were very similar, modern researchers simply refer to the common beliefs as the Hebrew religion. It is very likely that a visitor to Israel would simply have spoken of the 'Israelite religion' and a visitor to Judah would simply have spoken of the 'religion of Judah'. The religion of Judah is now known as Judaism.We now know that the early religions of Israel and Judah were remarkably similar to the religions of other West Semitic nations and the same gods were worshipped, but the Israelites and Judahites also worshipped a national God they called YHWH (Yahweh). Mark S. Smith (The Early History of God) says that according to the available evidence, Israelite religion in its earliest form did not contrast markedly with the religions of its Levantine neighbours in either number or configuration of deities. He says that in the Judges period, Israelite divinities may have included Yahweh, El, Baal and perhaps Asherah as well as the sun, moon and stars. He adds the goddess Astarte for the monarchical period.
