Video shows rocket attacks on Israel tank, bulldozer, troops in Rafah

Our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic have obtained and verified video clips of Palestinian fighters said to be battling Israeli forces east of Rafah city in the south of the Gaza Strip.

One clip shows a Hamas fighter emerge from what appears to be an underground position to fire an antitank rocket-propelled grenade at an Israeli tank. In another, a fighter takes aim from inside a destroyed building and appears to hit an armoured bulldozer with an antitank rocket.

In the final clip, Israeli soldiers based in a building are targeted with an attack after which flames are seen engulfing their location.
