Between May 10 and May 13, 1948, the village was attacked by the 52nd and 53rd battalions of the [[Givati Brigade]] as part of [[Operation Barak]]. The villagers put up a major struggle, but the houses were mostly all destroyed.<ref name=Morris>Morris, 2004, p. [https://books.google.com/books?id=uM_kFX6edX8C&l&pg=PA256 256]</ref>
Today, there are seven Israeli settlements on the village land; including [[Neve Mivtah|Newe Mivtach]], Meshar, [[Kfar Mordechai]], [[Misgav Dov]], [[Kannot]], Shedema, and [[Aseret]]. Of Bashshit's former structures, three houses and a pool remain; two of the houses are deserted and an Israeli family occupies one. The surrounding lands today are cultivated by Israelis for agricultural production.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.alnakba.org/villages/ramla/bashashit.htm |title=Destroyed villages:Bashshit |publisher=www.alnakba.org |accessdate=August 22, 2009 |
The village also contains an archaeological site, al-Nabi 'Ararat, which has some remaining pillars and [[cistern]]s. However, the site is fenced off and marked as a "dangerous building" and the cisterns are heavily populated with [[bat]]s.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaQhzBoWQ1Q Tracing all that remains of the destroyed village of Bashshit -Palestine]</ref> The remains of a courtyard in front of the khirbat ("ruins") is heavily overgrown with weeds.
