which lay at the foot of the mountain. Following the war, the area was incorporated into the State of Israel and three villages were subsequently established on the land of al-Mazar; Prazon in 1953, Meitav in 1954, and Gan Ner in 1987. The Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi described what remained of al-Mazar in 1992:The site is overgrown with thorns and cactuses and strewn with stone rubble. None of the village houses or landmarks remains. Almond trees and cactuses grow on parts of the village lands. The hilly lands are used as grazing areas, and other parts are covered with forest.
