Lebanon already had many problems. a financial collapse after 30 years of corruption. there's no more money. also the corona. and now this!

One of those international independent reporters was on CBC and showed a door in her home which is 2KM away, it was torn from one of it's hinge and halfway onto the floor.

Whatever went up, it impacted homes many kilometres away.

 

[Claudette]

Pray for the dead and injured if thats your thing and HOPE this isn't terrorism.

At first it looked like some kind of fireworks cache.

Yup. That's what the report I read said but I doubt it. Two explosions??

Thing is, there was a massive explosion. Was it an accident, or was it intentional?

That's what we need to wait to find out.

Rocket fuel.

HOWEVER that doesn't explain away the second, much larger explosion. Not by a long shot.

It lifted the ground

Damn. Underground storage.

Fireworks a bullshit cover story.

Can you say Hezbollah?

It was related to Missiles. And Israel took it out.

You don't expect them to make an announcement do you?

Mossad knows when a Hezbollah member farts!

According to the BBC there may have been two explosions and could be linked to the trial of members of Hezbollah charged in the assassination of the prime minister:

"A UN tribunal is due to issue its verdict in the trial of four suspects in the murder by car bomb of Hariri."
.....
"The possible second explosion was reported to be at the Hariri residence in the city."

Accordeing to CNN, a fire in a fireworks warehouse. But CNN never gets anything right since they stopped doing news.

Local news is confirming explosions in two different locations:

"It remains unclear what caused the explosions. At least one explosion took place near former Prime Minister Saad Hariri's Downtown Beirut residence, LBCI (Lebannon News) reported. Another local TV station, MTV, quoted a security source saying that the explosion took place at a storage facility at the Port of Beirut."

Anyone else notice how low key Israel has been lately? In terms of talk?

They're dealing with a huge increase in coronavirus cases once they reopened schools.

And CNN told you that I'm sure

Nope....here, assuming you can read graphs.......View attachment 371145 It was on Hannity.

Um.......you lost your mind....and now you lost your way too.......you are only a few light years off topic btw

Detour - Nutjobs go ----------> that way

I have no doubt the CIA and Israeli Mossad are responsible for the explosion. ...

I'd bet Hizbollah did it.

But...if they had a weapon of that magnitude it seems Israel would have been the target.

Blame Israel and start the Holy War they want

I just knew that would come out, and Hama and Iran were in on it.

This smells like Hezbollah

Just read a story on it. Officials are saying it was a boat carrying fireworks. Anyone who has been around fireworks knows it could be just that if they exploded.

Fireworks can be dangerous as hell. Sure hope that's what it was and not a rocket fired by terrorists.

Fireworks my Ass!!!

The red smoke may be from potassium perchlorate.

You get that same color with tannerite.
