This is a tragic event and my heart goes out to those who were affected by it and especially so many who are now homeless or have lost their loved ones.
Have you all seen the same type of explosion occurred in Syria 7 months ago? If this was truly an accident then I highly doubt there were 2 accidents like this. I am searching for the video again, but can't find it right now, but saw it yesterday.
Lebanon is not enemies of any of these countries. My kids catholic Lebanese college friends do not like Israel as they believe it creates many problems in the mideast. They're nervous talking about it as they know the US is closely aligned with Israel.

To me, this reinforces my belief this was an accident. In the videos you see a bunch of sparkly lights go off just before the big blast. I used to think those were the "fireworks" supposedly stored there. Now I realize they look like small arms rounds going off. This would be consistent with weapons and munitions being stored there. If it WAS sabotage,I'm more likely to blame Hamas. They may be allies but as Scripture says, "Every hand shall be against his brother." It may have been intended as "just a small accident", probably because the idiots didn't realize just what-all was in there.
