Satellite captures destruction on Syrian base after alleged Israeli strike https://t.co/o4pJNpZu2o pic.twitter.com/oWOftGNWKQ— The Times of Israel (@TimesofIsrael) May 1, 2018

An Israeli satellite company on Monday revealed the damage caused to at least 13 buildings on an allegedly Iranian-controlled military base in northern Syria by an airstrike the previous day.

Late Sunday night, explosions were reported at two alleged Iranian facilities in northwestern Syria, one near the city of Hama and the other near Aleppo.

The immediate effects of the Hama strike — a massive fireball — could be seen from kilometers away and registered a 2.6 on the Richter scale on nearby seismographs.

Former Military Intelligence chief Amos Yadlin noted that the size of the blast indicated the rockets were equipped with powerful explosives.

“It may be ballistic missiles with heavy warheads. The level of explosion that even moved the needle of an earthquake detector is not from the munition that attacked these places, but from the target,” said Amos Yadlin, who directs the influential Institute for National Security Studies think tank.

On Monday night, the Israeli ImageSat company released photographs showing the extent of the damage to the site. At least 13 buildings were hit in the strike on the Hama base, according to the pictures.

The attack came a day after Netanyahu talked to US President Donald Trump on the phone. The White House said the two leaders discussed the continuing threats and challenges facing the Middle East, “especially the problems posed by the Iranian regime’s destabilizing activities.”

On Saturday, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also ratcheted up the Trump administration’s rhetoric against Iran and offered warm support to Israel and Saudi Arabia in their standoff with Tehran.

Syria, Iran and Russia blamed Israel for that T4 attack. Israel did not confirm or deny it.

Biden told Israel to accept nuclear Iran

US Senator and vice presidential hopeful Joe Biden reportedly told Israeli officials three years ago that sooner or later they would have to reconcile themselves to the reality of a nuclear-armed Iran.

Israel's Army Radio reported on the remarks, which Biden is said to have made to visiting Israeli officials in his capacity as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

According to the report, Biden reaffirmed to the Israelis his rejection of military action against Iran, but also admitted that diplomatic efforts to halt Iran's nuclear program had little or no chance of success. In essence, Biden resigned himself to the idea of a nuclear-armed Iran and told the Israelis that they, too, would have to accept that outcome.

Israeli security officials on Monday expressed concern over the remarks and saw them as further evidence that if Biden and his running mate, Senator Barack Obama, win the upcoming US presidential election, Iran's acquisition of nuclear weapons will be a foregone conclusion.

Israeli experts warn that it is only the real threat of force that stands a chance of convincing the mullahs and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to give up their nuclear ambitions.

I looked at the pictures and the missing buildings were not very large and to my untrained eye I do not see any huge crater that I would expect from the reports of the LARGE EARTHQUAKE level explosion. In fact the pictures show no signs of blown up building pieces, the sites look pretty clean to me like, buildings were knocked down and the sites cleaned up. I can’t imagine these pictures are of the bombings from the other night. At least not pics of the massive explosion site. But I’m just a desk jockey :)
