I hate corporate media but the only thing I found was on MSN. It's saying that was an airstrike on a SCUD missile depot. It does looks like an ammo depot explosion more than a nuke to me.
In a step that has shocked the whole world, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) carried out an airstrike on the weapons depot in Tartus, Syria on 16 December 2024. Through the massive strike, Israel reportedly destroyed the Scud missile facility. However, reports are speculating that the damage caused by the strike was much more and a small nuclear weapon might have been used. Here are the details you need to note about the Israeli strike on Syria.
I'm no fan of Israel and wouldn't put a small nuke beyond their ability, but I think it's also reasonable to ask if what was blown to smithereens at the site might also have been radioactive, whether or not Israel knew. That could likewise have resulted in a cloud of contamination.
Supposedly this was a covert Israel-South Africa program. Discovery by the Vela satellite compromised the secrecy and South Africa pulled out. Meanwhile, Israel has its stable of Jericho ballistic missiles ready to go.
Reports have also added that the European Union's Radioactive Environmental Monitoring surprisingly found that the amount of radiation increased in Turkey and Cyprus 20 hours after the intense blast, pointing towards a small nuclear attack.

There is thought that Israel and South Africa co-developed a nuclear weapon and tested it in 1979. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vela_incident
I believe that the UK gave SA these nukes to defend themselves as the rest of Africa hated them.

That does look like a weapons depot going up. They are pretty spectacular.
ThankQ. This suggests the same fren: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=xoDfg1D8XvE

from that article FWIW:
Turkey is a low probability except for the most eastern region. Cypress is extremely unlikely.
