Israel Hit by Second Earthquake in the North in Matter of Hours
An earthquake measuring 3.1 on the Richter scale shook northern Israel early Wednesday morning, just hours after a magnitude 3.6 earthquake was felt in the area on Tuesday evening, according to the Geological Survey of Israel (GSI). No injuries or damage were reported in either incident.
The epicenters of both quakes were located in Jordan, south of the Kinneret, according to the GSI. An earthquake alert was not activated as the quakes did not endanger Israeli citizens.
In the first quake on Tuesday, residents reported heavy shaking, with some reports saying the shaking felt worse than in other recent earthquakes of a similar magnitude.
