I was momentarily pleased when someone on twitter reported it as “nukleari bombom”.
Pity it wasn’t.

How many times since that was written has Damascus been destroyed to the point it ceased to be a city?
Now it really begins.
Damascus is the longest lived-in city in the world having never been destroyed.

Sadly, when Damascus is destroyed, Israel will also be “abandoned like the grain fields in the valley of Rephaim after the harvest. Only a few of its people will be left, like the stray olives left on the tree after the harvest.”
The point seems to be that Israel has once again become primarily secular today - like the rest of the world. And just as they abandoned their God and were punished by exile to Babylon, so seems that this prophesy of the destruction of Damascus (and the poor conditions in Israel) is similar.
From some prophecy site - interesting stuff:
A Related Damascus Prophecy?
Some think Amos 1:3-5 is related to Isaiah 17. They surmise that Syria’s attacks against Israel in 1948, 1967, and 1973 are the first three transgressions mentioned in Amos’ passage, and that if Syria attacks Israel once more, God will allow Damascus’ destruction prophesied by Isaiah.
Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they have threshed Gilead with implements of iron.
But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael,
Which shall devour the palaces of Ben-Hadad.
I will also break the gate bar of Damascus,
And cut off the inhabitant from the Valley of Aven,
And the one who holds the scepter from Beth Eden.
The people of Syria shall go captive to Kir,”
Says the Lord.
(Amos 1:3-5 NKJ)
Wolf Blitzer doesn’t even work much during the week unless you call reading what someone else has written from a teleprompter work.
Looks like the area was already in flames from previous strikes and then we see either secondary explosions in the high point or those were other rockets hitting a target. The last one was incredibly impressive that I would say was about the same size or larger than the Texas fertilizer plant explosion. Was hard to get any good depth perception in the dark.
Re 23: Apparently Damascus is the oldest continually inhabited city in recorded human history.
