Do muslins celebrate the 4th of August? They should. A famous enemy of Israel was born today in 1961.

Times of Israel reports: “Director-General of Lebanon Public Security Abbas Ibrahim says: “The storage area contained highly explosive materials confiscated years ago.”
I am guessing that included some liquids/gases, that produced that huge secondary fuel/air explosion. Maybe some liquid rocket propellant and oxidizer?
There were many smaller secondary detonations, before the big one went off, so maybe there was a variety of armament and ammunition stored there.
As much as this is the Middle East, and conspiracy theories are the rule, a lot of industrial accidents happen in handling some touchy materials. Poor storage conditions (lack of adequate separation), and just a bit of bad luck could well have produced this.

Having seen the footage of Hiroshima and Nagasaki - and the immediate after effects I doubt anything could ever eclipse that.
This incident is sure spectacular though.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was spelled M-O-S-S-A-D.

I pray we never witness the likes of Nagasaki and Hiroshima again but this is astonishing- it’s an urban area so multiple buildings, cars were blown up.
