Town Today

According to the Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, all that remains of the village:
"The eastern segment of Canada Park lies on the village site. The park, which was opened in 1978 and was financed by donations from Canadian Jews, was established on the ruins of three other villages (Bayt Nuba, 'Imwas, and Yalu) that were destroyed by the Israeli army shortly after it occupied the West Bank in June 1967 ... The remains of houses can be seen on a high hill to the south, opposite the village. The cemetery , located on this hill, to the southeast, contains the remains of a tombstone with the inscription: "Al-Hajj Muhammad 'Ulayyan Taha, died on 14 Muharram 1355 Hijra [Islamic calendar, equivalent to 6 April 1936."

    Will you accept a new homeland & compensation instead of Palestine and you right of return?
    هل تقبل التوطين والتعويض بديل عن الوطن وحق العودة؟
