Potentially huge: Massive explosions in defense facilites in Aleppo, Syria

Shavua tov, a good week everyone.

Aside from the attempted coup in Turkey, there have been more than ten massive explosions in a weapons plant in Aleppo, Syria.

Let's go to the videotape. Make sure you see the note on top:

This was filmed near Saraqeb in *#Idlib* - c.75km from al-Safira.

And here are some more:

#pts: Though least likely of all scenarios, if there were ever external strikes on #Assad regime, al-Safira Factories would be 1st on list.

#pts - Some claims suggest an SAA helicopter carrying barrel bombs crash-landed in Al-Safira’s Defense Factories, igniting 2ndry explosions.

Unsurprisingly, here in Israel there have been no comments.
