๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ- The recent incident is extremely similar to an event near the Tomer facility on April 21st, 2021, in which an explosion occurred during what was described as a "routine test."

โžก๏ธ On that occasion, locals similarly reported hearing a large explosion and witnessing a mushroom cloud, with some capturing it on camera.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ- The explosion at the Tomer facility in Beit Shemesh was possibly not a controlled detonation but rather the result of an incident involving the accidental combustion of a sodium perchlorate storage facility, used in the production of rocket motors for surface-to-air missiles.

โžก๏ธ The improper storage of sodium perchlorate and explosive materials may have caused the incident, as there are such chemicals present in the facility.

โžก๏ธ The blast may also have destroyed a substantial stockpile of interceptor missiles, as the storage facility is located adjacent to an area where interceptors for one of the IDF's two Arrow-3 interceptor missile batteries are believed to be stored.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ โ€” Yesterday, Representative Lauren Boebert (R-CO) endorsed Thomas Massie in the Kentucky-04 primary, while also declaring she still supports President Trump.

In response, President Trump called her "weak-minded" and endorsed a Republican primary challenge against her.

Lauren Boebert is once of Trump's most fanatical supporters, having promoted the Clinton body count theory and claimed in 2021 that Trump had declassified documents in the final days of his presidency that exposed corruption throughout the U.S. legislature that would cause mass resignations and have the Republican Party take back the House and Senate before the 2022 elections.

Boebert was also one of the three Republican representatives to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files, alongside Massie and now-resigned Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฌโŒ๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ โ€” New York Times, citing three U.S. officials, reports that two dozen American and Nigerian special forces soldiers, including members of the U.S. Navy Naval Special Warfare Development Group [better known as SEAL Team Six] conducted a helicopter-borne ground operation at two islands in Lake Chad, far-northeastern Nigeria bordering Chad & Cameroon, attempting to capture Abu-Bilal al-Minuki.

The American-Nigerian special forces fought al-Minuki and around three dozen Islamic State West Africa Province fighters for almost three hours with the goal of capturing al-Minuki before they realized he wasn't going to surrender. Subsequently, the US conducted an airstrike killing him.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฌโŒ๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ โ€” Given the helicopter-borne special forces ground elements involved, it is likely this airstrike assassinating Abu-Bilal al-Minuki was conducted by a MH-60M DAP "Black Hawk" helicopter. These helicopters are operated exclusively by the U.S. Army 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment for transporting US military special forces, including DEVGRU.

The Black Hawk's DAP [Direct Action Penetrator] fired its M230 30mm chain gun at the area, then launched one AGM-114 "Hellfire" missile before firing more chain gun rounds.

The footage was captured by a MQ-9A "Reaper" drone conducting ISR.
