Another media trip to a Gaza rocket factory. Note the proper attire demanded by the hosts:
...Back in the office in Gaza, Abu Abir's rise from the chair initiated a scramble and after some muttering I was handed a plastic shopping bag with some clothing inside.

Ismail explained, so politely, that the knee-length black shirt and scarf I normally wear to conservative Gaza did not satisfy the standards of Islamic modesty upheld by my host...
Here's a take-away for you. This kind of person doesn't care about the 1967 borders.
And where do they place their perfectly legitimate military target?
...the door beside me creaked open and when the black cloth was pulled away my eyes readjusted to absorb where I was: A tiny courtyard with a parking pad cut off from view by walls crawling with bougainvillea. A few turkeys waddled by and a baby cried at the neighbouring house. Kids played in streets I could not see. A warm breeze rattled the vines...
Well it's certainly obvious that Israel's delivery of supplies is paying off in a huge way. Why it seems like only yesterday countries were calling Israel an apartheid state and the Palestinians wanted to rain down rockets on Israelis. I can't wait to see what sort of progress will be made once all of the Jews are kicked out of Hevron. Boy where do we get all of these genius politicians and diplomats?

But to answer the question; From Dhimma's goober nut patch?
