Also remember that the downtown area is at most 212 feet of soil then bedrock, so sufficient depth there hits a structural interface thatβs hard to TBM through.
Also all the pilings holding up downtown.
Thatβs uphill though.

UPDATE: Imagery @planet.com shared with NPR indicates the $1 Billion Qatar Early Warning Radar (QEWR) may have been damaged as claimed by Iran.
The 3m imagery is not definitive but @rsimmon.bsky.social cleaned it up, and there's what looks like scarring or firefighting water around the site.

This is more true in military and geopolitical areas than others. In domestic politics in the US I donβt think so.
This is just a military and geopolitical weekendβ¦

Very rarely does my nominally day job in cloud operations stuff intersect directly with my nominally second job doing missile analysis.

Equally unlikely is lens flare, as it starts very regular pattern but then becomes very irregular.
All of this assuming itβs genuine. I donβt see a source and we are seeing a lot of misinformation and fakes posted.
An unconfirmed video on Twitter shows what appear to be decoys or possibly cluster warheads deploying off an Iranian missile descending into the atmosphere allegedly towards Israel. Followups there suggested debris, which is unlikely due to the regularity.

The booster in Irbid is one of the many incidents where munitions and debris are reported to have fallen onto countries caught in the crossfire. There are various videos online showing missile and drone interceptions, creating additional debris.
