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.

i believe Hamas would do it on purpose just to make Israel look bad.. it probably wasn't even a mistake.. i mean, they use their own people as meat shields all the time, it wouldn't be a surprise if they bombed their own kids..

gaza is about the size of jersey and one of the most crowded cities in the world. if you shoot 1 ton missiles into a crowd of people to hit one target, chances are you are going to hit more than just your target

Israel is the size of New Jersey. Gaza is something like 140 Sq miles.

they would do it on purpose

or perhaps israel kills people on purpose when shooting those missiles?

it doesn't matter what else, perhaps.. i know Hamas would do it, just to intensify the conflict.. and so does everyone else..

Israel doesn't need help to look bad, fucking despicable.
