Israel had advance intelligence on plans for an attack, IDF Spokesman Yoav Mordechai said. An Egyptian border official said the Rafah border terminal between Egypt and Gaza had been closed indefinitely. Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi's office issued a statement saying, "Those who carried out this crime will pay dearly....There is no room for appeasing this treason, this aggression and criminality....The troops will totally control Sinai."  \
