According to a Saudi who claims to be an engineer and a geophysicist, ammonium nitrate is a signature material for Hezbollah explosives:
#Hizbollah history with using Ammonium nitrate is well known around the world but the goverment of #Lebanon
#LebanonExplosion
#BeirutBlast

Also, same Saudi posted this a video from supposedly a Hezbollah leader, saying:
"A nuclear bomb means some of our missiles plus ammonia containers in Haifa.
Their result is a nuclear bomb.
OK! These missiles will come and bomb these containers in an area of 800,000 people.
Tens of thousands of them will be killed!"
Does anyone here speak Arabic and can confirm?

Further context:
"He was threatening #Israel that he could easily make a semi-nuclear explosion in Haifa, Israel, using ammonia containers and missiles"

There's the video from the Hezbollah guy and the articles about Hezbollah using ammonium nitrate to make bombs though.
You're probably right though, I should try to find the original sources of what he posted to confirm.
Do you know more about him, and if he's a reliable source of information?
I agree with you. All I could find on him so far, is that he seems to be 'Field Trip Coordinator' of Saudi Aramco. Since I don't know what it's worth, I'll have to make a notable by retracing the sources of what he mentioned.
The Hezbollah guy is Hezbullah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah. I wouldn't be surprised if the excerpt where he says he would do a pretend "nuclear" explosion on Israel with ammonium nitrate and a missile comes from MEMRI TV. I have to scroll through their videos to see if I can find it.
I'm too tired though. Ima hit the bed, and I'll resume digging tomorrow.
Yes, I posted it here: >>10186078
