Israeli occupation date: July 23rd-24th, 1948. ‘Ajjur was mostly destroyed with the exception of three houses. 
According to the Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, the village remaining structures on the village land are: “Only three houses remain; two are deserted and one has been turned into a warehouse. One of the deserted houses is a two-story stone structure that has a large, triple-arched front porch.”
