According to the Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, the village remaining structures on the village land are:
"The site serves as a garbage dump and the original village can hardly be identified. On the thin swath of the hill that has not yet been covered with waste, remnants of stone houses stand next to a gasoline storage tank, along with bushes and cactuses."
