TEL AVIV, Oct 18, 2023 (BSS/AFP) - President Joe Biden said Wednesday he had 
seen "data" from the US Defense Department backing his assertion that 
Palestinian militants, not Israel, were to blame for a devastating strike on 
a Gaza hospital.

Asked by reporters in Tel Aviv what made him sure that Israel was not 
responsible for the strike that killed hundreds on Tuesday, Biden replied, 
"the data I was shown by my defense department".
