A magnitude 3.7 earthquake struck the Tiberias area near the Sea of Galilee in northern Israel Monday
By Bernie,
A magnitude 3.7 earthquake struck the Tiberias area near the Sea of Galilee in northern Israel Monday afternoon, the Geological Survey of Israel reported. No injuries or damage were reported. The earthquake follows a tremor felt in the Dead Sea area several days ago.
The earthquake did not trigger Israel's public early warning system. Earthquake alerts are only issued when a tremor is expected to cause significant ground shaking that could result in damage or injuries, typically at magnitudes of 4.5 or higher. A 3.7 magnitude earthquake, while noticeable to residents, falls below the threshold for public warnings as it is unlikely to cause structural damage.
