It would be the most epic target to hit with a missile though, a heap of nearly 3 kilotons of an explosive compound.
There was an elaborate fire previous, just like before most accidents. That wouldnt happen after a military strike. It would have all gone up at once with maybe fires after.
Israel would not be happy if that stash fell into the wrong hands, that much is true.
Being able to shovel full a pickup truck with AN would be any terrorists dream.
Thre stuff is versatile, it can be used as a propellant component and a high explosive, as well as as a reagent in explosives chemistry.

I really don't get the vibe of a conspiracy here, a missile or bomb from the sky would've been obvious on all the videos - it does seem like much more likely a case of neglect due to the pent up conditions in Lebanon right now.

Ive used ammonium nitrate to produce high concentrations of ammonia gas. Easy peazy just mix ammonium nitrate and sodium hydroxide. Add a drop of water and it just goes nuts.

Mainly I just sprinkle it on the soil to fertilize my house plants

Its one of the main resources of the chemical industry. An excellent fertilizer and great for blasting, in mining for ores.
Society without the stuff would be a lot less cost effective.
Its literally made from air, water and electricity.

The President of Beirut says what I said. https://indianexpress.com/article/world/beirut-blast-lebanon-president-foreign-interference-6544276/
You just won't get this on the news here. If you go outside the US borders, this is a common line of conversation right now.
The entire Lebanese government is corrupt. So corrupt they're taking the money and running but calling it stepping down.
There's no president of Beirut. There's a president of Lebanon.

Here’s a story about Fritz Haber, the inventor of the Haber process that turns air and water into ammonia. He was a truly evil man.
