Radiation increase following the attack: Did Israel use nuclear weapons in Tartus?

Following the collapse of the Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria and the transition of Syria under the control of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), Israel expanded its occupation in the Golan region. Israel, which began intense airstrikes under the pretext of destroying the former regime's weapons depots, also advanced on the ground to within 25 kilometers of Damascus.

CLAIM OF US-MADE NUCLEAR WEAPON

The Israeli Air Force conducted an airstrike on a weapons depot in the city of Tartus on December 16. The intensity of the explosion caused an artificial earthquake with a magnitude of 3 in the region. Some reports claimed that Israel may have used the B61 nuclear bomb developed by the United States.

Earth Sciences Expert Hans-Benjamin Braun stated that the increased radiation levels in Turkey and Cyprus following the explosion and the radius of the crater formed in the region where the explosion occurred strengthen the claims of a nuclear attack.
