the US has assesed it way a terrorist rocket that his the hospital

The U.S. has independently assessed that it was a Palestinian Islamic Jihad group rocket that misfired and hit the hospital, two senior U.S. officials and a congressional staffer told NBC News. Biden also said that "appears" to be the case. Israel has insisted that's what happened.

The last target Israel would have chosen while bidens plane was in the air was a hospital. Or even anywhere near one.

And misfires hitting gaza have happened before from the pallestinians.

Not intentional, but it is a congested war zone and the missiles are crude.

So it at least a st makes sense.

But have to say that this 'result' really doesn't surprise ..
This story was starting to fall apart almost from the moment the media picked it up. And it's becoming apparent that 'information' and 'reports' gleaned from certain sources ... Really aren't worth the paper they are written on.

(and after being shamelessly exposed a number of times - the media will probably eventually catch on to that baseline.)

I'm inclined to believe they know what they are talking about. Sometimes things like that happen, sometimes they don't.
