The village has been completely obliterated. Kudna inhabitants were completely ethnically cleaned Kudna was know to the Crusades by Kidna.

Kudna contained remnants of a Crusades fort the foundations of buildings, previously inhabited caves, cisterns, and about a dozen khirbas lay in the village vicinity.

Now, in that place we will find an Israeli settlement : Beyt Nir.
