There are rocket "factories" and storage facilities tucked in alleys and warrens across the Gaza Strip, one of the most densely populated places in the world. They are not full-scale warehouses with production lines but otherwise empty rooms or garages that blend anonymously into the concrete block buildings ubiquitous to Gaza's drained landscape.
Inside this storage hold, the walls and windows had been decorated for our visit with the group's black flags emblazoned with emblems and Arabic script. The Al-Nasser Brigades are an armed wing of the Popular Resistance Committees, indoctrinated by generations of Gaza's Islamic resistance, and these days loyal to Hamas.

Israel should respond to rocket attacks by leveling and forever claiming all Gaza land to a point beyond which Hamas rockets can be launched into Israel. There should be zero tollerance for rocket attacks. The Palestinian people should be warned that if Hamas does'nt stop they will all be pushed back into a tiny corner and they will have noone to blame but themselves.
