Israeli Strikes Caused Colossal Explosion ‘So Big It Registered on the Richter Scale’ in Syria

“Colossal” explosions have filled the skies in Syria as Israeli strikes are said to have targeted military sites in “the heaviest strikes” in the area for more than a decade - with blasts registered on earthquake sensors.  

A war monitor group said that Israeli strikes had targeted military sites in Syria’s coastal Tartus region. “Israeli warplanes launched strikes” targeting a series of sites including air defense units and “surface-to-surface missile depots,” said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, in what it said were “the heaviest strikes in Syria's coastal region since the start of strikes in 2012.”  

It has been claimed that the explosion was so large, it measured as a magnitude 3.0 on seismic sensors. Tartus has been the location of one of Russia’s two military bases in Syria and was used as a naval base, as well as an ammunition depot.

The huge explosion and the secondary explosions may indicate the presence of a large volume of stored armaments. (DM/VFI News)

“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.” - Romans 1:28-32
