who has actual control of rafah ?

i read things that suggest rafah is totally under egyptian control, and other things that suggest the egyptians operate under some israeli guidelines or rules is there a clear answer here ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.91.51.31 (talk) 05:01, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Recent changes

The claim that Israel does not allow goods to go directly from Egypt into Gaza through the Egypt–Gaza border is unfounded. Israel has no control over that border. I have undone the changes and it can be discussed here. Dovidroth (talk) 06:34, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why no pictures of the wall?

Wikimedia Commons has a whole bunch of pictures of the wall, including the anti-tunnel barrier. We should add some.

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 10 October 2023

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

I suggest deleting the phrase ", which could only be of use for infiltration by militants," as it does not seem to be supported by reliable sources. The NPR article says that many tunnels discovered had been used for infiltration, but does not state that tunnels could "only" be used to infiltrate. Experience with tunnels in other regions suggests that cross-border tunnels could be used for migration, smuggling of goods, and several other purposes. Given the contentious nature of the topic I suggest a strict reading of the reliable source. Vegastrong (talk) 03:25, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Partly done: I've removed the word "only" but left the rest. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 14:42, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Edit needed for malformed sentence

The following sentence looks like an editing error: "From 1994 until 2004 a suicide bomber originating from within the Gaza Strip successfully carried out an attack in Israel (on 14 March 2004 in Ashdod)." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wmagro (talk • contribs) 15:34, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:List of Islamist terrorist attacks#Should Operation Al-Aqsa Flood by Hamas included in the list of Islamist Terrorist attacks?

An editor has started an RfC asking "Should Operation Al-Aqsa Flood by Hamas be included in the List of Islamist terrorist attacks?" at Talk:List of Islamist terrorist attacks#Should Operation Al-Aqsa Flood by Hamas included in the list of Islamist Terrorist attacks?. Interested editors are invited to participate. TarnishedPath^talk 03:46, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Poor on essential facts

For lots of unanswered, but essential technical questions, see Talk:Rafah Border Crossing#Where? When? Who? Basics missing.

Not up to date (2 more relevant crossings for instance). Arminden (talk) 21:13, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Dubious" claim

The NYT article doesn't mention 2011 at all. Please revert the two latest edits and change the 2011 to 2006. Probably an editor made a mistake. KetchupSalt (talk) 10:19, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
