Lebanon's state-run National News Agency said the earth-shattering kaboom resulted from the detonation of leftover ammunition near the Lebanese-Syrian border.

Al-Jadeed TV said the blast was caused by "the detonation of an old rocket left over from the 1982 (Israeli) invasion" of Lebanon.

LBCI television for its part said the earth-shattering kaboom went off at a Hizbullah

Al-Arabiya TV had reported that the blast resulted from an "Israeli Arclight airstrike
