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.

    After not so careful consideration, I’ve decided to trust your claim. 500 people died because of hamas’s sheer incompetence and then used as a propaganda.What a tragedy.

      Hamas doesn’t have rockets that can kill +500 humans in a single strike.

      If they had that, Israel would be toast.
