Fully involved fire in warehouse NE of silo rack, when small arms sized ordnance (grenades, Katushas,RPGs?) begin cooking off in warehouse immediately east of silos, which then went way kinetic, way quick.
Shockwave admirable due to humidity... and a fair sized shock.
Smoke too rusty for potassium chlorate, I suspect old steel drums or shipping containers full of ordnance, pierced by small arms cookoffs, small holes to ignite, much containment...till there wasn't.
Punch up 33.901783,35.518805 in maps for a lay of the land overview, then watch the vids again...see what you come up with.

This person has interesting comments,,,says “When HMX is heated, it undergoes deflagration, emitting brown smoke.
He says it was an arms depot, missiles from Iran, that were intentionally destroyed...not an accident. Has 3 different posts about it,,,here’s a link to the first one:

Meanwhile, an official letter surfaced online showing that the head of the customs department had warned repeatedly over the years that a huge stockpile of ammonium nitrate stored in a hangar in the port was a danger and asked for a way to remove it.
In the letter, the customs chief warns of the dangers if the materials remain where they are regarding the safety of (port) employees and asked the judge for guidance on what to do with it. He said five similar letters were sent in 2014, 2015 and 2016. The letter proposes the material be exported or sold to a Lebanese explosives company. It is not known if there was ever a response.
