Beirut - massive explosion there on 17:03 - Aug 4 by DanTheMan
Bloody hell, I thought the original part of the video looked bad enough but that explosion was something else.
Whatever caused the secondary explosion may have just arrived from Ukraine:
Based on the last AIS ping and angle, I'm thinking the cargo vessel's name is METRO STAR. Both she and neighboring cargo vessel RAOUF H arrived from Ukraine. Shall try to figure out the cargo, but from the initial explosion before this one, it seems like fireworks or weapons. https://t.co/Jigm4xsytmpic.twitter.com/VzLPUxx6u0

That looks like an ammo dump (or vessel carrying ammunition, looking at other posts). First the flickering of individual rounds going off, then a big explosion.
Currently, Lebanon is going through a serious economic crisis, on top of being only marginally stable politically. Hopefully this does not presage things kicking off.
Tho it might be Hizbollah trying to circumvent arms embargoes to Syria by shipping them therough their networks in Lebanon.

Certainly looks that way, lots of minor secondary explosions before the big one goes off.

Seeing loons claiming to have seen Israeli jets in the area already.
F*ck humanity, let's nuke the planet from orbit and let the cockroaches take over.
Far too big an explosion for any conventional bomb the Israelis - or any other airforce, for that matter - could deliver. Not enough heat and light for a nuclear weapon (even a small one). Plus it doesn't explain the precursor fire, complete with sparkly bits suggesting the official explanation of a fireworks factory is correct*.
This is devastating. Lebanon was already spiralling, in the midst of a political and currency crisis with accelerating COVID-19 cases. People were going hungry - and that's the city's largest grain elevator right there. pic.twitter.com/HiGPBhLGVh
That looks like fireworks. The Beirut one has the crackling of something going off closer to ground level but not the higher rocket-type fireworks. Doesn't mean they're not of course.
edited, as I see you've already commented on this.

Really bad situation there before this:

Yep.
I'm still waiting to find out if all my family are alive and this piece of human shit is already spinning conspiracy theories before we have any evidence of anything. pic.twitter.com/l747meEfKW
Abbas Ibrahim, head of the country’s General Security, said the explosion wasn’t caused by fireworks as reported earlier by the local media, but due to highly explosive materials at the port depot https://t.co/JI6h1OZFm5@bpolitics#Beirut#BeirutBlast#Lebanon
