History
In 1882 the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine noted Khurbet Beit Yemin (under "Archæology"): "Walls, cisterns and rock-cut tomb."[3]
British Mandate
The village passed to British control they defeated the Ottoman Empire in World War 1. The village was administered under the British Mandate for Palestine until 1948.
Jordanian Era
In the wake of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and after the 1949 Armistice Agreements, Beit Amin came under Jordanian rule.
Post-1967
Since the Six-Day War in 1967, Beit Amin has been under Israeli occupation.
After the 1995 accords, about 29.2% of village land was classified as Area B, the remaining 70.8% as Area C. Israel has confiscated land from Beit Amin, ‘Azzun ‘Atma and Mas-ha in order to construct the Israeli settlement of Shi'ar Tikvah. In addition, the Israeli West Bank barrier will isolate some of Beit Amins village land behind the wall.[4]
