According to the Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, the village remaining structures on the village land are:
"The village was not destroyed; it has been an artists' colony since 1954, and is designated as a tourist site. The village mosque has been turned into a restaurant/bar, the "Bonanza" The 130 inhabitants of the new' Ayn Hawd have built a new mosque to replace the old one. Muhammad Abu al-Hayja, the son of a leader of the old village, represents the new village in its struggle to win municipal status."
