President Joe Biden was asked by a reporter in Israel on Wednesday what made him confident that the Israelis weren’t behind the explosion that killed hundreds at a Gaza hospital on Tuesday.

Biden responded that it was “the data I was shown by my Defense Department.”

Two U.S. officials told ABC News the Pentagon independently concluded the Gaza hospital blast was likely caused by an errant Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket that fell short of its target.

    USA is directly involved on the conflict with more than 5000 soldiers ready, believe in this is like believing in Belarus statements about Ukraine war.

    BBC does not found any evidence of the attack from any side but al Jazeera had a live stream that shows a rocket comming from Israel at the same time.

    This argument that the blast site does not appears to be from a Israel’s warhead is shit. Israel would not target a Hospital directly and this could be a piece of the rocket that broke off.

      Israel doesn’t use rocket artillery, Al Jazeera is about as unbiased a source as China Daily and Russia Today, that is 100% paid propaganda for the dumbest people around.

        Al jazeera is one of the most credible and reliable news agencies in the world. It’s nothing like rt or China daily and certainly better than anything US has. But obviously one should not go to al jazeera for news about the middle east.

    The video seems pretty clear tbh. An aircraft dropping bombs would be quite loud, and a missile would be visible.

    I just want to respectfully remind everyone that just because this tragedy was likely not perpetrated by Israel, it does not mean they are absolved of any of the hundreds of war crimes they have already committed.
