The facility is the sole crossing between Gaza and Egypt and a crucial entry point for humanitarian aid to the besieged Palestinian enclave.

“We have operational control of the area and the crossing,” the Israeli military official said. Military operations at the crossing are ongoing, the official added.

"We have special forces scanning the crossing; that is what's happening in the upcoming hours," they said. "We have operational control of the area of the crossing and we have special forces handling there." 

The official refused to say how long Israeli troops would control the crossing,

Video from the Israel Defense Forces showed Israeli flags raised on the Palestinian side of the crossing.

Earlier, a Palestinian official told CNN all movement on the crossing had stopped after Israeli tanks captured the facility on the Palestinian side.
