al-Sawafir (al-Gharbiyya, al-Shamaliyya, al-Sharqiyya):

al-Sawafir al-Gharbiyya:

Two settlements were established on village land. All of the houses are gone. An old village road is clearly visible. The cemetery is overgrown with wild vegetation. The adjacent lands are cultivated by Israeli farmers.

al-Sawafir al-Shamaliyya:

There are no Israeli settlements on the lands of al-Sawafir al-Shamaliyya. A few vacant houses and segments of houses, standing amidst wild vegetation, mark the site. An old village road is also identifiable.

al-Sawafir al-Sharqiyya:

No village houses remain on the site. New buildings stand on the spot where the mosque used to be.
