Do they? I'm pretty sure that average israeli is mizrahi.

A good point; I'm not sure. But Moroccans are typically not that dark.

I'm guessing (and this is truly a guess) that if vitamin D and/or exposure to sun has something to do with it, then skin tone is a factor but might well be outweighed by the others.
