U.S. President Joe Biden arrived in Israel on Wednesday pledging solidarity in its war against Hamas and backing its account that a blast that killed huge numbers of Palestinians at a Gaza hospital had been caused by militants.
The fireball that engulfed the Al-Ahli al-Arabi hospital delivered some of the most harrowing images yet from a 12-day war, and wrecked White House plans for Biden’s emergency diplomatic mission to the Middle East, with Arab leaders calling off their planned summit with the U.S. president.
Palestinian officials blamed an Israeli air strike for the blast, which it said had killed as many as 500 people. Israel said the blast was caused by a failed rocket launch by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant group, which denied blame.
Speaking alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Biden said: “I was deeply saddened and outraged by the explosion of the hospital in Gaza yesterday, and based on what I’ve seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team, not you.”
Israel would have claimed it a military target and use that excuse. They have no reason to deny the bombing.
They have admitted to other bombings in the past such as ambulances because they were valid military targets.
I see no reason for Israel to lie about this as they have public support right now.
In 2014 they bombed a hospital and blamed Hamas. They didn’t say it was a legitimate military target, they said Hamas did it. So historically your claim is untrue.
You have a cite? This is all I could find and Israel said they did it.

Same conflict but different hospital.
Thank. I’ll read through those.
No they don’t but they did downvote you for sharing something they didn’t like lol
https://www.newsweek.com/mysterious-case-gazas-al-shifa-hospital-262086 OK Buddy. They even used the same exact excuse, saying it was “gaza terrorists” instead of naming Hamas directly. But continue to talk shit with no sources of your own.
Normally Israel just says they were taking fire or munitions were being there, etc.
It’s why they normally just say, yep we did it. It’s not a violation of the rules of war to bomb military targets even if it’s a hospital.
It looks bad but it isn’t a violation.
Right now the world is on the side of Israel. So they’re more like to say look at Hamas. They’re using the hospital to attack us and the world would say we get it.
Why I suspect a failed Hamas attack.
