Neve Yarak is located, partly on Al-Muwaylih land, and partly on land formerly belonging to Jaljuliya.
By 1992, it was described: "The site is very difficult to identify. Some of the houses still stand, deserted, amidst wild vegetation. One of them belonged to Hashim al-Jayyusi, who later became a Jordanian cabinet minister. It is a two-storey, concrete structure with rectangular doors and windows and a stairway in front that leads to the second storey. The other villas have been reduced to rubble. The land in the area is cultivated."
