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.

What do you mean “our cause”?
Isn’t truth the cause, and to stop the killing of ANY civilians? And to stop the needless killing on all sides….
I have no idea what you’re asking. Yes I would love if people stopped this madness and gave palestinians their homeland back. what does that have to do with facing the facts of one tragedy? friendly fire happens.
I’m no politician but that suggestion is even more untenable than the zionists here
Oh you sweet summer child, I wish.
My dude, HAMAS rockets are barely capable of doing property damage, let alone killing hundreds of people. You expect me to believe that one of these things broke apart mid flight in the perfect fucking way to strike at the fuel supply and set it off in the middle of a huge building full of people? That this practically Rube Goldbergian chain of events is the more likely explanation? One of us is definitely spreading misinformation here but I don’t think it’s me.
It hit a parking lot at the hospital, not the actual building. Here’s an Initial analysis that was posted elsewhere on Lemmy.
When they’re firing thousands of these things? I think it’s possible.
I don’t have a dog in this fight. It’s a religious war that will go on until long past my years here.
I think it’s at least as plausible an explanation as Israel deciding to piss away the most goodwill it’s had in decades by bombing a hospital parking lot for absolutely no reason other than to kill some civilians.
if you look at the images there is hardly any property damage. there is no crater. there are a few busted windows and some charred cars. not an expert but it wasnt some kind of WMD. and im not entirely sold on the 500 mark either.
its not gymnastics. israel is flattening gaza with bombs and has attacked “safe” escape routes. im not denying that. but hamas also has awful equipment and little military training, misfires are expected.
