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 did not say 500. Even then it’s not hard to work out that hundreds of people died because that place probably had more people per square inch than any other possible place in the area. It’s was a hospital, in the middle of a war zone and one of the few places in the area with power. Which makes it all the more unlikely that this was an accident. Even just cutting the power to the hospital would have killed hundreds.
Look at the daylight pictures. There were less than 20 people in the area.
