Tremor felt by
residents of Metulla, Kiryat Shmona and Tiberias; police say no immediate
reports of damage or injuries.By Joe YudinThe epicenter of an earthquake felt
across northern Israel Sunday was in the Lake Kinneret (Sea of Galilee) and
Hula area, the Geophysical Institute of Israel (GII) stated.
With a 3.7 impact on the Richter scale, the
earthquake was felt by residents of Metulla, Kiryat Shmona and Tiberias. Police
said there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
An earthquake measuring 4.2 on the Richter
scale struck in August 2011, and was felt in various parts of the country.
There were no reports of damage or
injuries.
At the time, the GII confirmed that the
epicenter of the quake was in the Mediterranean Sea, some 40 kilometers west of
Binyamina. The institute received reports from people who felt the quake in
Haifa, Afula, Tel Aviv, Herzliya and Kibbutz Nativ.
Another earthquake struck earlier that year
in April, although that tremor did not register on the Richter scale.
In July, National Economic Council chair
Professor Eugene Kandel said that Israel was not financially ready to cope with
the aftermath of a large earthquake, Army Radio reported.
“I don’t recommend to anyone to rely on
the government in such a scenario,” Kandel said.
