On one of the stories, she wrote "Fireworks" with double quotation marks, apparently doubting that the explosion could have been caused by them. She also cited reports that the blast occurred at an ammunition warehouse allegedly belonging to the Hezbollah militant group.

The actual cause of the Beirut explosion is still unclear. The port area, which was the epicentre of the blast, was home to a huge amount of high-yield explosives.

According to the city's governor Marwan Abboud, half of the buildings in the Lebanese capital were damaged as a result of the blast.
