ALBAWABA - Israel launched massive airstrikes on Lebanon on Saturday evening, one day following the strike on an eight-storey building targeting a Hezbollah meeting and killing senior commanders including Ibrahim Akil, a top official who is in charge of Hezbollah's Radwan Force unit.
In retaliation for the series of attacks on Beirut's Lebanon and the wireless devices' explosions which killed at least 45 people, including two children, and injured over 3,000 others, Hezbollah fired dozens of Fadi 1 and Fadi 2 missiles, which are new kinds of rockets that were never used before targeting the Ramat David airbase, southeast of Haifa.
Furthermore, local Israeli media revealed that the Iron Dome intercepted Fadi 1 and Fadi 2 missiles launched from Lebanon by Hezbollah over Haifa and Nazareth.
On Sunday morning, Hezbollah claimed responsibility for an attack targeting the complex of the Rafael Company, which specializes in electronic equipment.
Outage over the type of Israeli bombs used in striking Lebanon
Amid exchanging attacks between the Israeli army and the Hezbollah group, many videos ignited speculations over the kinds of bombs Israel used in attacking Southern Lebanon.
An X user posted the video showing the massive blast in Lebanon and wrote: "BREAKING: ISRAEL just dropped a MASSIVE BOMB on Lebanon. What the fuck is this?"
Another person added: "Israel has hit Lebanon with a massive bomb, bunker buster or even a tactical nuclear weapon judging by the initial flash. Like I said, stop saying we have to avoid a wider war. War is upon us. So use it or lose it."
American alt-right internet personality, Stew Peters, also posted the video and captioned it: "Did Israel just NUKE Lebanon?"
According to social media discussions, what caused the controversy was the power of the explosion, the levels of massive fire that erupted from bombs and the rapid light that flashed in the sky.
