Several Hamas rockets where fired at Israel …..
One fell short into the Gaza Hospital…..
Israel and the US has overhead , visual and Hamas cell phone intercepts confirmation on this….
This comes AFTER International, national and regional Media reports that the Israeli’s fired the rockets….
The Israeli military presented on Wednesday a fuller explanation of why it blames an armed Palestinian group, rather than its own forces, for a catastrophic blast at a Gazan hospital on Tuesday night.
The Israel Defense Forces said that after a review, it found that the explosion was caused by a malfunctioning rocket fired by Palestinian Islamic Jihad, an armed group allied with Hamas, that hit the Ahli Arab hospital. The group has denied the claim, and the Hamas-run Gazan health ministry said that an Israeli strike caused the blast, which it said killed hundreds of Palestinians. Neither side’s claims could be independently verified.
In a press briefing on Wednesday morning, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, an Israeli military spokesman, said that Islamic Jihad fired 10 rockets at 6:59 p.m local time. One of the rockets, he said, fell to earth prematurely, hitting a parking lot outside the hospital. He said that Israel had not fired any ordnance in the area of the hospital at that time.
He cited a photograph of the parking lot that was posted on social media on Wednesday morning that he said did not show the kind of impact that would have been caused by an Israeli missile. The New York Times has not verified the photo. The photo shows the effects of a fire — burned-out cars and scorched ground. Admiral Hagari said that the damage was caused by rocket fuel that caught fire after hitting the ground.
He also showed aerial footage that he said was taken from a military drone overnight. In the images, he said, there was no evidence of a crater caused by an Israeli missile.
And he dismissed suggestions that the strike was caused by an errant Israeli air defense interceptor; he said Israel does not fire air defense missiles into Gazan airspace.
The admiral played a recording of what he said was a wiretapped conversation between two Hamas members, in which one speaker says the damage was caused by a rocket fired by Islamic Jihad from a cemetery near the hospital….
U have read this post CG?
The Arabs in other countries are protesting based on the Gaza Hospital Israel attacked the Hospital FIRST media reports….
Again….
Israel outpaced by the Arabs…..
Is anybody able to translate 1:37? It is utterly indecipherable,
What am I even doing here at this point trying to communicate with jamesb?.
The Cable News channel’s hungry for images are running video of protest around the Middle East EXACTLY what Iran wants…..
That IS another blow agains American efforts to engineer some sort of closer Arab/Israeli Middle East….
CG?
U don’t get the ‘BIG’ picture here….
Iran does NOT want a Peace in the Middle East….
And Israel military action actually helps Irans and threaten to destabilize other Arab countries…
Think outside the box man…..
One of your continued fallacies is that you believe that all Middle Eastern Muslims are “Arabs.” That is not the case. Iran is not “Arab” country.
You are also continuing to equate Hamas with all Arabs.
What exactly would you suggest Israel do after the attack? Shrug it off? Just say “well this has been going on for a long time.”
Hamas does not want peace in the Middle East but you have very oddly suggested they are “moderate” and have somehow been working with Israel.
Israel has no choice but to eliminate Hamas. The lives of Palestinians in the long-run will be far better once Hamas is eliminated. There would quickly be a two state solution once the Palestinians were to agree to one. However, the governing entity of Palestine wants one state that does not include Israel (and does not include Jews anywhere on Earth)
Iran will have to deal with the fact that Hamas would be eliminated. Iran are not “the good guys.”
No Iraninas are ‘Persian’….
I do have a solution which should be ‘Peace’….
The parties on BOTH sides have political power in conflict….
On that we agree
You agree then with Israel and not Hamas.
Somehow, you think you agree with Hamas and not Israel. I do not know how to fix that level of ignorance.
Biden wanted to try and mend fences….
He leaves in 7 hours pledging to give OUR tax doillars to BOTH sides….
What FUCKING progress is gonna be achieved?
Think Israel will get ride of Hamas?
REALLY?????
Biden seems to think Israel should get rid Hamas and has stated the United States supports them in that. Clearly, you were not listening to him. It is also in the interest of the United States as a world power to care about innocent Palestinians (i.e. the victims of Hamas.) As much as you might not want to accept it, Israel also cares a lot more about the lives of innocent Palestinians than Hamas does.
You are continuing to equate Hamas with Palestine in general and playing into their rhetoric by saying that any fight against Hamas is a fight against Palestine or “Arabs” or Islam in general.
This is either because you are a) too stubborn to admit you are wrong on things you do not know or b) you are just not bright enough to be opining on anything over the internet.
Biden does NOT want Israel leveling Gaza
He would happy with NO ATTACK
THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT just spoke of a two state solution
This is above your pay grade.

“There are still so many families desperately waiting to hear the fate of their loved ones, not knowing if they’re alive or dead or hostages.
Infants in their mothers’ arms, grandparents in wheelchairs, Holocaust survivors abducted and held hostage — hostages whom Hamas has now threatened to execute in violation of every code of human morality.
It’s abhorrent.
The brutality of Hamas — this bloodthirstiness — brings to mind the worst — the worst rampages of ISIS.
This is terrorism.
But sadly, for the Jewish people, it’s not new.
This attack has brought to the surface painful memories and the scars left by a millennia of antisemitism and genocide of the Jewish people.
So, in this moment, we must be crystal clear: We stand with Israel. We stand with Israel. And we will make sure Israel has what it needs to take care of its citizens, defend itself, and respond to this attack.
There is no justification for terrorism. There is no excuse.
Hamas does not stand for the Palestinian people’s right to dignity and self-determination. Its stated purpose is the annihilation of the State of Israel and the murder of Jewish people.
They use Palestinian civilians as human shields.
Hamas offers nothing but terror and bloodshed with no regard to who pays the price.
The loss of innocent life is heartbreaking.
Like every nation in the world, Israel has the right to respond — indeed has a duty to respond — to these vicious attacks.
I just got off the phone with — the third call with Prime Minister Netanyahu. And I told him if the United States experienced what Israel is experiencing, our response would be swift, decisive, and overwhelming.”

KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel said Wednesday that it will allow Egypt to deliver limited quantities of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, the first crack in a 10-day siege on the territory. A massive blast at a Gaza City hospital that killed hundreds the day before put immense strain on Gaza doctors treating the wounded as medical supplies ran out.
The announcement to allow water, food and other supplies came as rage over Tuesday night’s blast at al-Ahli Hospital spread across the Middle East, and just as U.S. President Joe Biden visited Israel in hopes of preventing…..
Biden CANNOT appear to forget the Suffering in Gaza……
And neither can Egypt AND ISRAEL….
Big picture CG….
Why is Egypt refusing to take refugees from Gaza? Where is your criticism there? It seems like they could be doing a lot more to alleviate suffering.
When will you look at the “big picture?”
Does the fate of the American hostages matter or to you or do you just want to shrug this all off as “oh well, this has been going on for a long time?”
There is a lot of suffering in Gaza that is 100 percent the fault of Hamas.
What about the suffering in Israel? You never seem to even acknowledge that? What are the Jews in Israel supposed to do? Just let themselves be slaughtered without a response? Hasn’t that happened enough to them throughout history and not even one hundred years ago in Europe?
What about what Jews in the United States are going through right now as all this unfolds? What about the fear that they feel here at home? Do you even see that picture?
Okay on Egypt and Jordan……
Back in 1947 Palestine was carved up into one part Arab and one part Israeli…..
Since then there have been several conflicts….
Those tend to bleed migrants to neighboring countries…..
Those enclaves are NOT completely in synch with the country they migrated to causing political instability….
Again CG?
Big picture
The other countries do NOT want Palestinians
As for the atrocities against Israeli’s and others?
Horrible
And the Israeli’s ARE hunting down the Hamas leaders and those who did the killing and violence……
But the paramount thing is to get the hostages back ALIVE…..
My heart is out for those whose suffering losses….
On both sides and from other countries
This afternoon, Rashida Tlaib is making hysterical statements at rallies and continuing to insist that Israel bombed the hospital.
The people who actually fired the missile are on tape admitting it was them.
Democrats should really do something about her.
