Well, jet fuel does release a lot more thermal energy than explosives. Ten times more energy than the same mass of TNT, for instance. Explosives just do it a lot faster.
I don't care for jet fuel, it's more prudent to ask who knew, and who was involved.
Like the dancing Israelis.

Jet fuel can be an explosive. Just depends on how you package it.
The difference between an explosion and a detonation is because detonations move faster than the speed of sound through the material. Guaranteeing that more of that energy is released in a smaller area.
Total Energy / Area*Time is what makes stored energy hazardous.
Yeah, it's an AI pic. Look at the traffic, the background buildings, and the text on the top of the one building. Even with the poor image quality, you should be able to tell some kind of character from that regardless of if it was English or Hebrew. Also, the fire in the middle looks fake as hell.
I've also been trying to find what buildings they are and nothing shows up in a search fitting this exact complex layout.
EDIT: Ran the image through a few AI image detection tools and they're 90% certain on this being AI.
Yeah something looks a bit off about this photo. Blurred around the edges, smoke looks funny. Any other angle or source? I hate to be the "source!?" guy but in the age of AI we need to be more skeptical.

Found it on X, and Grok fact checked it as consistent with damage reported over the weekend and didn't see anything that stood out to it indicating it was a forgery, but of course it could be.
Take that how you will. One thing I will say that points to possible forgery to me is that I haven't seen the image on telegram.
So with that said, 50/50?
I think going forward it's going to be harder to get images and videos out, Israel is cracking down heavily on media now
