Village Today

According to the Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, the village remaining structures on the village land are:
"The Baha'i shrine, the mosque, the Islamic school for orphans, and a few houses still stand; the rest of the village is gone. The shrine is a handsome, domed structure, the front wall and arched entrance of which are framed by prominent stone pillars. The mosque, a stone structure with a dome and vaulted ceilings, has been turned into a private home for a Jewish family. The former Islamic school for orphans is also inhabited. The al-Basha water canal, built with stone blocks, still exists, but is not functioning; the same is also true of an aqueduct."
