A small pile of moved sand looks comparable to a deep hole in the ground?... There's absolutely no way a Falaq-1 rocket produces the explosion which took place in Majdal Shams.

Any time the environment looks burnt and there was a large fireball it's pretty much guaranteed it was a misfired interceptor. Interceptors contain a large amount of fuel which is used to steer the missile, whereas Hezbollah rockets contain high powered explosives which create a shockwave.

Testimonies from locals say it was an interceptor as well.

Sorry but that top picture shows a small crater in the concrete with some sand, and that bottom picture shows a small crater in the asphalt with some sand

I'm going to have to go with the weapons expert from HRW instead of some comically biased website on this one
