Small earthquake strikes Eilat region
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA small earthquake measuring 4.3 on the Richter scale is felt in the area surrounding the southern city of Eilat.
There are no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
Israel’s last major earthquake shook the region in 1927 — a 6.2-magnitude quake that killed 500 and injured another 700. An earthquake in 1837 left as many as 5,000 people dead. Major earthquakes strike Israel once every 80 years or so.
