U.S. officials said no evidence has emerged that Israeli munitions were the source of the blast.
U.S. intelligence officials said Tuesday that they used signals intercepts, multiple video sources, photographs and geolocation technologies to arrive at a 'high confidence' assessment that Israeli munitions were not the source of the deadly blast at Gaza's Al-Ahli hospital last week, laying out new details about an incident that has inflamed tensions across the Middle East.
Within seconds of its launch, officials said the 'fluctuating intensity' of the rocket's plume suggested an unstable motor combustion, which was followed by one object hitting the ground, and was soon followed by a second. 'Our conclusion is that there was a catastrophic motor failure that likely occurred, which separated the motor and the warhead,' one of the officials said.
