#1 "via Debka"

Which means it has about a 0% probability of being true.

#2 Not always. They put out three types of stories. The first are generic press releases from someone else. These tend to be reliable. The second are likely official leaks from Israeli government agencies. These are so-so. The third group are opinion pieces and wishful thinking, which are terribly unreliable.

In this case, the cite a Kuwaiti newspaper. Unfortunately it is in Arabic. But it is likely that their translation is accurate, even if the source is questionable. They also quote US intel sources that are verifiable.

So on a scale of 1 to 10, I would give this a five or six. The information, if true, is possible, not farcical. It is based in the present, not speculating about the future. Third, it is the sort of thing Israeli intelligence would want to leak to the Internet.

So, again, all told, the article cred is about a 5 or 6.

#3 Looks like the diameter of the town is about 3 miles.

An inventory size nuke ought to pretty much take care of the perps there.

#6 Would not surprise me if Short Round is using AlQ as a bargaining tool.

Also Short round has a new Islamist ally in Erdogan!
