The incident has further inflamed tensions across the region.But during a trip to Tel Aviv lasting fewer than eight hours on Wednesday, Mr Biden supported the Israeli claim that the deadly blast appeared to have been caused by a misfiring Palestinian rocket.Israel has pointed the finger at Islamic Jihad, another militant group operating in Gaza.
