In Genesis 11: 31 it stats " and together they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans". According to Theologians Ur was a city in the east of Babylon, so Abraham came from Babylon, which is modern days Iraq. God told Abraham to go to Canaan ( Genesis 12: 1), which is modern day Palestine.
Abraham's grandson, Jacob, wrestled with God and Jacob's name was changed to Israel, which means "He who struggles with God". God told Jacob in Genesis 46: 3 that he would make Jacob a great nation. Jacob eventually became the founder of the Israelites because God said he would become a great nation.
So Abraham was a Babylonian and through him came Jacob, who founded the Israelites and that means that the Israelites have the same blood line as the Babylonians through Abraham.

The Israelites, the Phoenicians, the Babylonians, the Sumerians, and the Assyrians
They were taken over first by Babylon and then Persia.
The Babylonians conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the First Temple. They exiled many Israelites to Babylon, known as the Babylonian Captivity or Babylonian exile, which lasted for about 70 years until the Persian Empire overthrew Babylon and allowed the Israelites to return to their homeland.
No, the Babylonians were not part of the Israelite people. The Babylonians were an ancient civilization in Mesopotamia, known for their advanced culture and empire, while the Israelites were a distinct group of people who lived in the region of Canaan and later formed the Kingdom of Israel.
It was the invasion by the Persian ruler Cyrus who defeated the Babylonians, and set the Jews free.
The Persian king Cyrus after he defeated the Babylonians, released the Israelites who were taken prisoners by the Assyrians He allowed them to take the temple vessels and helped rebuild the destroyed temple..
Habakkuk was inquiring from God why He sent Babylonians in order to enslave the Israelites and why it would take so long.God answered him that it was necessary to send one of the most wicked people on earth-the Babylonians in order to discipline the wayward Israelites but He also added that He would pass His judgement on the Babylonians even more severely after they served as an instrument of God's corrective action against Israelites because they deserved it due to their wicked ways.As a response to this Habakkuk said that:"The just will live by faith.",meaning that the Israelities will endure their punishment patiently aware that they deserved it and in conviction that it will all pass in due time.
Ezekiel was a prophet of the true God. Daniel was a prophet serving when the Israelites were in exile in Babylon and he was given a position in the King's household. At the same time, Ezekiel was a prophet who was serving the remaining Israelites when is lay pretty much desolated after the Babylonians conquered them and took most of the Israelites back to Babylon.
