After the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, the subdistrict disintegrated, the western part became part of the Central District of Israel and the eastern part, became a part of the Jordanian annexation of the West Bank from 1948 to 1967). Most of the eastern part is today the Tulkarm Governorate, part of the State of Palestine.
