Deir al-Hawa was completely obliterated. Currently the Jewish National Fund owns your

village, and you're more than welcome to sue them in U.S. courts if you wish, see 'Imwas,

al-Ramla for more details. Dayr al-Hawa inhabitants were completely ethnically cleansed.  

The number of houses in (1931): 11.

 

There was a mosque in the western part of the village and a  shrine for a local sage known

by al-Shaykh Sulayman. Dayr al-Hawa contained two wells located southeast and west 

of its center. Deir al-Hawa was built on an unknown archaeological site.
