JENIN, (PIC)-- A senior intelligence officer accompanied the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) that stormed two houses of Hamas figures in Yabad village, Jenin district, and conducted field interrogation with both.

Hamas sources in the village told the PIC reporter that the soldiers encircled the home of Sheikh Ezzeddin Amarne, 48, and questioned him inside his house for two hours.

Amarne, who is blind, had been imprisoned for several years in Israeli occupation jails.

The sources noted that the same force also broke into the house of Sheikh Adnan Hamarshe, 46, and interrogated him. Hamarshe was the oldest serving administrative detainee before his release.

The sources noted that the officers convoyed threat messages to both, telling them to convey them to Hamas leadership, which both refused saying they were not the parties concerned with such issues.

The threats included directing harsh blows to Hamas in the event it organized resistance attacks.

IOF officers had interrogated a number of Hamas leaders in Jenin recently including former minister Wasfi Qabaha and Khaled Al-Haj among others.
