Syrian sources are reporting a massive explosion at a weapons depot near the city of Idlib, which is under regime control. Footage circulating from the scene shows numerous secondary explosions, indicating the blast occurred at a fully stocked ammunition warehouse.
The explosion comes amid reports of growing friction between Israel and Druze communities in southern Syria on one side, and the Syrian regime on the other, with the possibility of a violent confrontation between the parties.
No official confirmation has been issued regarding the cause of the blast or whether it was the result of an Israeli operation.
