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.

    Yeah, is there any place in southern Gaza that isn’t packed full of the people they told to move there from the north for ‘safety’?

      You rather they stay on top of the Hamas terror tunnels Israel is targeting? Hamas would like that.
