The village was not destroyed; it has been an artists' colony since 1954, and is designated as a tourist site. The village mosque has been turned into a restaurant/bar, the "Bonanza". Those few villagers built a new village, also called 'Ayn Hawd, which is not legally recognized by the Israeli government and hence is denied all municipal services (including water, electricity, and roads). In the 1970s the Israeli government erected a fence around this new village in order to prevent it from expanding.
