Currently, local youth are throwing stones and molotov cocktails at soldiers and soldiers are responding with live ammunition. There are reports that armed Palestinian resistance fighters have arrived on the scene.
At 2 am Friday morning, 12 Israeli military vehicles entered the Al-Safe neighbourhood, five minutes south of the Manger Square city centre of the West Bank town of Bethlehem.
Troops surrounded the home of a suspected Al-Quds Brigade fighter, and became engaged in clashes with local resistance fighters. During the confrontation, three Palestinians were injured.
Fatima Zaharan, 80, was hit by two bullets, one each in her leg and her abdomen. Her condition is described as "critical", and is receiving treatment at Beit Jala public hospital.
Muhammad Obiat, 18, received a bullet in his chest, his condition is described as "medium to critical". It has also been alleged that Obiat is a member of the Al Aqsa Brigades.
Mallik al-Jabawi, 11, was shot in the head at close range with a rubber bullet, and continues to receive treatment.
By midday, an Israeli military bulldozer had arrived on the scene, and troops were threatening the demolition of the house they had been surrounding. Further clashes broke out, between local children throwing rocks and stones using adapted slingshots, and the Israeli troops firing rubber bullets and tear gas.
The military vehicles attempted to surround the children, with no success, until further reinforcements arrived and dispersed the crowd of children. Troops also stopped a service taxi from passing by the house, and detained all those traveling inside.
The owner of the house, Thaer Hassan, is a suspected member of the Islamic Jihad movement. His home was demolished two years ago by Israeli forces, and he has rebuilt it since.
Just before 12:30, the Israeli bulldozer had demolished part of the wall of the four-storey building, opening a hole in the first floor. Troops stationed in front of the house have been throwing tear gas and sound grenades into the house and calling for the surrender of those inside.
Attempting to bring the siege to an end, the Israeli troops are currently using neighbours of the besieged family home as human shields, in order to enter the building.
The latest development on the scene is that the soldiers captured two of the children from the neighbouring homes, forced them to enter the building and to remove the furniture from the family home, placing it all outside the building. The soldiers have since released the children and sent police dogs into the Hassan house.

Overnight Israeli attacks leave six Palestinians dead
The Israeli army has killed six Palestinians in overnight attacks. Four casualties occurred in an air strike, east of Gaza City; the battle for Beit Hanoun claims another victim and one citizen was assassinated by undercover army units in the West Bank city of Nablus, Friday at dawn.
Palestinian sources reported that Ammar Mushtaha, a leader of the Hamas-affiliated Izzedin al-Qassam Brigades, and a further three of his comrades, died when an Israeli drone aircraft fired a missile targeting their car in the Al Shojaeyya neighbourhood, east of Gaza city. Medical sources report that when the four corpses arrived at the hospital, the bodies were almost unrecognizable, and the four must have died at the scene of the attack.
Overnight, the offensive against Beit Hanoun in the north of the Gaza strip, continued. One resident was shot and killed by an Israeli sniper in the early hours of the morning, in the ongoing Israeli military siege of the town.
Israeli media sources have stated that the army targeted and killed four resistance fighters, east of Gaza city on Friday at dawn, and added that clashes between the invading troops and local resistance fighters are still ongoing around the Beit Hanoun mosque, where more than 60 fighters are besieged. Part of the roof of the mosque has already been destroyed by the army, although Palestinian sources have reported that most of the fighters had left the mosque before the destruction happened.
The five killed on Friday raises the death toll in the Gaza Strip since Wednesday to 20, with over 80 injured, among them children.
In a separate event, in Nablus city in the north of the West Bank, the Israeli army announced on Friday morning that an undercover force had invaded the city and opened fire upon Ahmad Sanakra, 28, an activist with the Al-Aqsa Brigades of the Fatah movement, wounding him, and killing his 14 year old brother Ibraheem.
Eyewitnesses said that undercover Israeli army Special Forces stormed the house of Mohamed Inab, 33, adjacent to the Sanakra family home, and opened fire at Ahmad, injuring him and killing his brother, before taking Inab prisoner. Al-Aqsa Brigades fighters managed to move Sanakra to a safe place, where his wounds were described as "critical".
