Several civilians were killed and injured in what has been described as the heaviest and most violent attacks on Syria since the onset of Israeli aggression. The intense bombardment on the city was so powerful that it caused an earthquake-like tremor, which residents could physically feel, according to Al Mayadeen's correspondent.

What did working with the west get Syrians? What does it get anyone besides misery? This is the outcome of literally surrendering, there are literally idf cowards on the ground right now and there is a chance to retaliate but why would they attack their patrons.

Western media: "Look, the Syrians can now go to school without fear! The evil tyrant is no more!"

They probably can't depending on gender or sect pretty soon.

Is ths pic real? What kind of weapon is that? Sure looks familiar but what conventional weapon does something like that?

Pictures are real, It's a ex Syrian Arab Army ammunition depot being hit and exploding, a large number of secondary explosions of all the weapons stored there caused such a huge blast. Rockets stored there cooking off and flying in all directions probably caused the civilian casualties, there were multiple videos of rockets flying and impacting far from the initial blast. Ammunition stored at a large depot like that can cook off for hours or even days afterwards.

I did a write up on it here, finding the potential facility struck on Google maps
