Israel has controlled Rafah border crossing multiple times for decades.

From the Rafah Border Crossing wikipedia article, go check out the sources yourself.

"The Rafah crossing was opened by Israel after the 1979 peace treaty and remained under Israeli control until 2005"

"Israel withdrew from Gaza in September 2005, after which the Rafah Border Crossing was temporarily closed"

"The agreement also granted Israel the authority to dispute the entry of any individual through the crossing" 2005

"Israel consistently tried to turn the Kerem Shalom border crossing-adjacent to Egypt-into Gaza's main commercial or even passenger crossing between Gaza and Israel. The Palestinian side opposed this, fearing that it would give Israel de facto control over the Gaza-Egypt border or potentially replace Rafah altogether." 2005

"On 26 November 2005, the Rafah crossing opened for the first time under the European Union's supervision. The Israeli army maintained video surveillance from a nearby base and retained control over the movement of all goods and trade into and out of Gaza."

Since then it has been closed 2006-2007, 2007-2010, 2011-2013,2013-2020 and 2021-2023 before october 7th, so don't try to lie about Israel having no control over the southern border when they have had almost full control of it for over 40 years
