Town Today

According to the Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, the village remaining structures on the village land are:
The Lavi pine forest has been planted by the Jewish National Fund, the body of the World Zionist Organization in charge of land acquisition and development, on the western side of the site, and another forest has been planted nearby in the name of the Republic of South Mrica. The debris of houses is buried under these forests. Scattered wells (which formerly were used by the villagers for collecting rainwater) further mark the site
