These were bunker-buster attacks, which caused an earthquake. Laser guidance help may have come from Israel.

Drudge recently had something up, now it’s down, about the attacks coming from Israel. No one has yet claimed credit.

This kind of activity was inevitable and I recall reading somewhere that big trouble was coming at the end of April and here we are.

Hours after Mike Pompeo came into the region, the new Secretary of State, visiting Saudi Arabia and Israel.

Those two nations are allied in Syria.

Talk of an earthquake, notion that bunker buster bomb was used with implication of possible US involvement but Israel is also blamed by others on the pro-Assad side.

According to Tsarfati, earthquakes can be caused when bombs hit a bunch of missiles. He and Haaretz are both reporting earthquake.

most likely true it was Iranian ordinance stockpiled or in route....could be us or Israel .........but Trumps not saying til he’s ready to say....the man keeps things close to his chest until he’s ready to let it rip with impact and purpose.

Whatever it was the blast was obviously Vore than the usual....and it killed 38 Irainian Special forces BTW.

Sorry, Drudge article is still up. Jerusalem Post.

Drudge's headline says Israel but Iran is just saying "the enemy."

Most likely a pressurizing move by Israel with the nuke deal on the chopping block hoping to provoke an overreaction by Iran to hurt Iran’s position in the nuke deal situation.

Any Iranian retaliation would give President Trump more ability to justify throwing off the nuke deal.
