To put this explosion in context, read the quoted text below.
Quote:
Timothy McVeigh used two tonnes of ammonium nitrate to create a bomb which destroyed a federal building and killed 168 people.


Quote:
President Michel Aoun said the blast was caused by 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate stored unsafely in a warehouse.


This should give you a rough clue on the size and consequence of the blast.

It destroyed the whole city. I wonder why they had all that stored in one place given that its an explosive.

Primarily it is used as a fertilizer and on its own it cannot ignite or explode.
However when in large quantities and stored poorly where it can come into contact with fuel or explosive detonation then you are in trouble.

Of course Mossad would have that kind of intelligence. Why cause a war when you can cause an accident and achieve far greater devastation. Just saying.

In similar explosions involving ammonium nitrate, it was either accidental detonation or deliberate detonation. It is for the investigators to determine which.

Still why lazily store it in such large quantities right in the middle of the city?
