4.6-magnitude earthquake felt across Israel Especially in Beit Shemesh

 

An earthquake with a magnitude of 4.6 was felt across Israel early Wednesday morning.

Residents of Israel reported that the quake was felt, among other places, in Beit Shemesh, Haifa, Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and additional towns in central Israel.

The epicenter of the quake is likely Crete, Greece, where an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.3 was reported.

In March, an earthquake with a magnitude of 4.3 was felt in the city of Eilat. No injuries or damage were reported.

According to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre, the epicenter of the earthquake was near the Red Sea, approximately 65 km south of Eilat and 16 km from the resort city of Nuweiba in Sinai.

In August of 2024, an earthquake was felt in many towns and cities in northern and central Israel.

There were no reports of injuries or damages.

The epicenter is believed to be an earthquake measuring 5.5 on the Richter scale that occurred in Syria, and was also felt in Jordan and Lebanon.

Time to pray.
Remember that the Jordan Valley is a fault line. It's supposed to quake every 100-110 years. It's currently over 20 years overdue.
