The Israeli military releases footage from the launch of its operation in eastern

The Israeli military releases footage from the launch of its operation in eastern Rafah late Monday, as well as clips from the fighting in the area in recent days.

The IDF says some 100 targets were struck in the area as the 162nd Division pushed in, capturing the Gazan side of the Rafah Crossing.

Troops are currently carrying out raids in the area, searching suspicious sites and buildings from which Hamas operatives opened fire at troops, the military says.

Hamas has also launched several rockets from Rafah at southern Israel in recent days.
