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.

Ah, if the CIA says it's true, I'm sure they're neutral and definitely not trying to push an agenda. The CIA famously never lies about the military capabilities of organisations against US interests.

Seriously, you all fucking believe this? Shame on you all for your lack of pattern recognition skills.

You can think whatever you like, but that means you either have to ignore all the evidence indicating that you're wrong, or you have to have additional evidence to prove you're right. You not liking something doesn't count as evidence.

US have always been Israel's ambassador. Nothing new here.

If anyone made it as far as the third sentence in the article, they might notice that "Islamic Jihad" in the title refers to "Palestinian Islamic Jihad".

They're not blaming Hamas for this incident. PIJ is a separate organisation.

Man I can't wait 60 years for the DoD or CIA to declassify these documents that show otherwise.

Seriously you should check out some of the stuff the CIA has declassified. Some insane involvement and coverups of so many incidents, wars, overthrows, uprisiings, etc.

I even learned Chuck Yeager had his personal beechcraft bombed by the IAF, and he was so pissed that he listed it as a PAF loss in his 1971 war report lol. He also confirmed PAF's 3:1 k/d, and interviewed all the captured IAF pilots.

All back when Nixon was running the show, so who knows what other stuff went down.

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.
