Palestinian security forces stand guard on the border between Egypt and the southern Gaza Strip, near Rafah August 6, 2012. Egypt has closed the terminal, the only gateway for Gaza's people after the deadly attack on its soldiers last night in the area. Suspected Islamists attacked an Egyptian military checkpoint on Sunday, Aug. 5, 2012, killing 16 Egyptian soldiers before stealing two of their vehicles and bursting through a security fence into Israel.
