Biden Knew Israel Was Bombing Civilian Targets in October

WaPo reported on a briefing in October on Israel bombing buildings without having 'solid intelligence' that they were military targets

Biden administration officials knew back in October that Israel was bombing buildings in Gaza without having “solid intelligence” that they were military targets and continued to provide full support for the Israeli military operations anyway, The Washington Post reported on Monday.

The report said that a briefing took place at the White House on October 27, three weeks into the brutal Israeli military campaign. Due to the sheer destruction in Gaza, it was clear Israel was bombing the Strip indiscriminately, and a report from +972 Magazine published in November revealed Israel was actually intentionally hitting civilian targets.

Israeli intelligence sources told +972 that Israel targeted what it called “power targets,” which include civilian infrastructure, such as high-rise apartment buildings, banks, universities, and other public buildings. The sources said that the Israeli military would also approve strikes that kill large numbers of civilians in an attempt to target only one Hamas member.

Biden officials also acknowledged during the October 27 meeting that Israel had no clear plan on how to defeat Hamas. “We never had a clear sense that the Israelis had a definable and achievable military objective,” a source familiar with the meeting told the Post. “From the very beginning, there’s been a sense of us not knowing how the Israelis were going to do what they said they were going to do.”
