Biden comments on Gaza hospital blast

Speaking about Tuesday's explosion at a Gaza hospital that killed hundreds, President Biden told Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that "it appears it was done by the other team." He later said his assessment was based on U.S. military data. Israel's military has vehemently denied responsibility for the hospital explosion, blaming a rocket fired by Islamic Jihad militants in Gaza that it said fell short and hit a parking lot next to the hospital. CBS News' Roxana Saberi and Ed O'Keefe have more on the president's visit to Israel.

CBS News contributor Robert Berger, CBS News foreign correspondent Imtiaz Tyab and CBS News senior White House correspondent Weijia Jiang have more.
