Town Today

According to the Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, the village remaining structures on the village land are:
Some houses still remain. One house has a front stairway, and a covered garage that apparently was added by the Israelis who live there. Another house has two high, arched windows. The site also contains stone rubble from destroyed houses, and a few fig trees and cactuses
