The sources added that P.A security personnel broke into homes of dozens of Hamas members and supporters, searched them, and arrested thirteen residents.

Also, security forces members broke into the house of one resident who was accused of hurling stones at them as they were operating in the area. The resident, Atallah Mohammad Samara, said that he was severely punched and received life threats.

Hamas said that this arrest campaign comes only one week after a similar campaign which was carried the Palestinian security forces in Aseera Al Shimaliyya village, near Nablus. 22 Hamas members and supporters were arrested.

Beit Umren village is located in area “C” which is under Israeli security control and Palestinian security forces cannot operate their prior to an arrangement with the Israeli coordination office.
