https://www.timesofisrael.com/explosions-reported-at-alleged-iranian-militia-base-in-northern-syria/

 

Explosions heard in 3 places in Syria: 2 in Hama, and one in Aleppo. 

One of them is reported to be an Iranian militia recruitment camp.

~40 reported dead.

 

Also reported that in at least one location, an earthquake in a magnitude of 2.6 on the Richter scale was measured, meaning at least one of these explosions occurred because of mass detonation inside an ammo storage facility.

 

It could be Israel. I'll list why it could be Israel, and why it couldn't:

 

Could be Israel:

1)Reported in all MSM. Usually when it's attributed by some to Israel, but for a fact not the work of Israel, it appears in only one media outlet at best. When it's all over the news, it's Israel, with only few exceptions.

2)None else would be able to coordinate such an attack AND be against Iran in this fight. And the US only does such things very rarely, and only following international scandals.

 

Could be not:

1)Israeli airstrikes are always very clean. Only material damage, and if there are casualties, they're usually very limited. Just part of a strategy to not escalate AND deny Iran the means to escalate if it wanted to escalate.

2)2 of the targets were reported to be Syrian targets. The only times Israel has actually fired on Syrian targets was when - A)Syrians were clashing with terrorists in the Golan and were not careful enough to prevent stray fire from reaching Israeli territory, and B)Firing on Israeli aircraft as they were targeting Iranian targets.

 

 

EDIT: Seems that Israel is out of the picture on this one. Rebels/Terrorists (you pick) took responsibility, and Syrian state news also reported it to be rebels/terrorists attacking weapons facilities. Don't know if they referred to all of the targets.

Lots of theories still flying around

   The first reliable evidence of the use of antitank cluster mines PTM-3 and PTM-4 by the Russian forces (most likely VKS) in Syria appeared. The codes of development work - Knockout and Knockout-2, respectively.
   PTM-4 were used near Homs, and where PTM-3 was used - unknown.

 

   It is clear that these testimonies were due to the fact that the mines did not work properly. To be more precise, their self-liquidators did not worked.
   For PTM-3, in principle, this is not surprising since the mine (according to the marking) is already 31 years old, but PTM-4 is only 8 years old, a modern production, and even in the warranty period of storage did not ended! Although, possibly, PTM-4 self-deactivated after 120 days. But, frankly, this is doubtful. The ammunition is brand new and letting someone else get a new sample - it's silly to put it mildly. Therefore, I tend to think that it was malfunction the ammunition ..

Yuri Lyamin about what exactly was hit:

Quote

Storages of the 47th Brigade of 3rd Armor Division of the Syrian Army, some of which were used as one of the points of storage and distribution of weapons and ammunition supplied from Iran.

/.../

   The Iranian media at the moment do not report any official data about the deaths and injuries, they only broadcast the same rumors from local sources as other media. But local sources generally consider all IRIS wards from Iraqis to Pakistanis as Iranians . We must wait for official reports, if one of the Iranians died, then most likely by the evening there will appear messages with the names of those killed in the Iranian media.

The consequences of the attack and the remains of the bombs / missiles that hit the facility of the Syrian army and its allies near Aleppo (there seems to be a former auto center near the airport was used as a temporary warehouse)

I'm thinking, is it the remains of the GBU-39 bombs...

Quote

In the Israeli Air Force GBU-39 SDB is called "Barad Had." The first batch of 1,000 units was purchased in 2008 (published on September 9, 2008) and received approximately in November 2010. In December 2012, publications appeared about the forthcoming deliveries to Israel 3,450 GBU-39.

There range is up to 110 km, if the aircraft went for example from Jordan through Tanf or from the side of the Euphrates, then the Syrians have there very weak air defense

Yuri Lyamin:

If you believe the Iraqi Al-Sura, as a result of the attack on the warehouses of the 47th brigade of the Syrian army near the city of Hama, 12 Syrian military men were killed and 40 more were injured, the Iranians do not have any deaths, but 7 people were injured, and more than 40 civilians were injured as a result the spread of ammunition from the blown up warehouse. Large stockpiles of mines for mortars and missiles for MLRS have been destroyed.
