According to the Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, all that remains of the village:
"The site is overgrown with mountain flora, including long grasses and pomegranate, almond, and carob trees. Some of the cactus hedges survive, and several wells also are visible. Israeli settlement houses have been built on village land."
