Israel has dropped an absolutely enormous bomb on Syria, with the subsequent explosion at a munitions depot registering a 3.0 on the Richter scale

This is the dramatic moment Israel dropped a so-called ‘earthquake bomb’ on Syria, with the blast so powerful it reportedly measured on the Richter scale.

The massive blast, along with subsequent explosions, suggests a massive stockpile of weapons may have been present at the site.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Israeli warplanes hit air defence units and “surface-to-surface missile depots”, part of a campaign to destroy regime weapons stockpiles that could fall into the hands of Islamist rebels.
