[edit] Anti-Tank Missiles

I made a change from the term "anti-tank missiles" being fired at IDF forces to "RPG" (rocket propelled grenade), which is more accurate. If there is evidence of an anti-tank missiles (missiles are guided, rockets are not), being used, I'd love to hear it because I'd be curious. If so, change back. Terrapin

[edit] Rafah and the Rephaim?

Could the village of Rafah possible have any connection to the "RAPHA" or "REPHAIM" mentioned in the Bible?

[edit] Needs a picture

	It is requested that a photograph or photographs be included in this article to improve its quality.
	The Free Image Search Tool (FIST) may be able to locate suitable images on Flickr and other web sites.

The article needs at least a skyline photo of Rafah, to enrich the article. Once somebody finds and uploads one add it to the infobox. Al Ameer son

[edit] Only crossing?

I see referenes online and at Sufa to the "Sufa crossing" between Israel and the Gaza Strip. Have there been any others since the end of the 1948 war? Have they all since been closed? -- Beland 20:50, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Ah, I think this meant to say it's the only crossing between Gaza and Egypt. -- Beland 16:54, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Map request
