Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday that Canadian officials are still reviewing evidence about the Gaza hospital blast that killed and maimed many Palestinian civilians and he’s not prepared to say who’s responsible.
“We are working closely with allies to determine exactly what happened,” Trudeau told a press conference with Caribbean leaders in Ottawa when asked if he accepted the Israeli version of events that has since been endorsed by the U.S. government.
“We saw some preliminary evidence but we’ll keep working with our allies as quickly as possible before reaching any firm and final conclusion,” Trudeau said in French, adding that many communities here in Canada are “personally affected in an intensive way by what happened over there.”
During a wartime visit to Israel on Wednesday, Biden said the U.S. defence department showed him intelligence that suggests the explosion at the Ahli Arab Hospital likely was not caused by an Israeli airstrike.
Conservative MP Michael Chong, the party’s foreign affairs critic, said in question period he wanted to “give the government the opportunity to correct and clarify the record” on who was responsible for the deadly blast.
Images gathered by BBC News, the Associated Press and Reuters show that the hospital is still standing after the blast but there are blown-out windows, a small crater in the pavement near the site and burned-out vehicles and overturned cars nearby.

The Majority Report Thursday talked about some experts that said some of the evidence seems like it could be an airburst bomb with a thermobaric warhead that would kill many people as the air is displaced and buildings stay relatively intact.

Good, it very well may have been a failed rocket but Isreal hasn’t provided consistent information and independent verification has yet to happen.
Question everything.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
