The Israeli Defence Forces have form on incidents like this :

Al Jazeera’s Imran Khan noted that some observers have questioned Israel’s version of events, with some pointing to Israel’s history of falsely attributing acts carried out by its own forces to armed Palestinian groups.

“We’ve seen this type of thing before from the Israelis,” Khan said on Tuesday.

“Take for example the killing of our colleague Shireen Abu Akleh. At the initial stages of that report, the Israelis blamed fighters within Jenin camp for her death. It was only later that they admitted it was one of theirs.” https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/10/18/what-do-we-know-about-the-strike-on-the-hospital-in-gaza

The USA Irish-American President has uttered a despicable comment. Speaking alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Mr 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.”

For this reason Joe Biden should be publicly denounced by every politician, organization, and individual who recently helped roll out the green carpet to him during his recent visit to Ireland. This powerful leader has become a genocide-enabler in Palestine.
