@WomanCornthe alternative explanation is extremely improbable
most likely israel attacked a weapons store, and the sympathetic detonation of other materials (ammonium nitrate, fireworks) caused a huge explosion they weren't anticipating
and then everyone involved had reason to cover it up. hezbollah relies on public sentiment in lebanon, they're not going to say "yeah we got 200 civilians killed in one shot because we stored our weapons someplace stupid". and israel wasn't going to admit they killed 200 civilians without the slightest provocation
