 Experts Warn: Major Earthquake Could Hit Israel Any Time
Last Sunday,
Israel experienced two earthquakes, raising fears that a significant geological
event could occur. Sunday's quakes followed two others, one on Saturday morning
and another on Thursday evening. Although they were all minor in scope, some
experts warn that a major earthquake may hit the region in the near future,
capable of inflicting fatalities and significant property damage.
Professor Amotz
Agnon, a geology and geophysics expert working at Hebrew University in
Jerusalem, explained that a strong earthquake in Israel could "lead to
thousands of deaths. From experience, we know that everything depends on the
time of day an earthquake occurs. The cities of Safed, Tiberias, Kiryat Shmona,
Beit She'an and Eilat, unfortunately, are all built above the Syrian-African
fault-line."
