Yes Sir,
It is my extended family house owned by the first Mukhtar my granfather hasan Iessa Ataya.He had children,Mahmoud,Ahmad,Mohammad,Adeeb,Saleh and one daughter called Alia whose name my daughter carries.My granfather was a pious man and somehow the village indigenous healer.My uncle Mahmoud became Mukhtar,and my father Mohammad Head of the municipality.I had those pictures long ago.The zionists have also desecrated the village cemetry.My father just before 1948 Nakba built himself another house in the bayyara which is still standing and some Israeli security official occupies it.I will do anything to support your site it is fantastic.I shall return to my home town and will never give my right of return even in exchange of promise to go to paradise.

To my knowledge nothing is left in Al Zeeb. The Ataya house has been taken over by a Jewish family who have turned it into a Bed and Breakfast and a museum. It is not well maintained. I'd like to see it now.. it has been several years since anyone went to check up on the house and so I'd be interested to know if it's still standing even. 59 years this year.. how sad is this?!?!?

wanna see if there are any atayas left in alzeb?
