Jewish forces captured al-Buwayziyya on 11 May 1948. Al-Buwayziyya's residents fled when they learned that the neighboring village of al-Khalisa, had fallen. That village had been evacuated after the Haganah turned down the villager's request for an "agreement". In the absence of such an accommodation, both villages presumably anticipated a direct attack. The villagers probably were also influenced by the fall of Safad on the same day. There are no Israeli settlements on village lands. On the site are the remains of destroyed houses, a few walls and terraces. The flat portion of the surrounding lands are used by Israeli for agriculture; the more hilly lands serve as pasture.
