Hi,
A 4.5 magnitude explosives earthquake was recorded this morning in the north of Israel.
When I was looking on the alert, it took me a moment to realize it is not a standard alert we are used to seeing. The alerts were in two areas: along Hula Valley and along HaKishon Valley from Jezrael valley to Haifa bay).
There were times the alerts were in several locations at the same time. But the big difference was the fact that the alerts were pretty linear areas: long and narrow.
Only then did I read the text of the alert. I do not use to read the headline as it is repetitive and only the times and locations change. And I was surprised to see the headline saying earthquake.
It was really nice to see how the earthquake alerts were
Only later we learned the earthquake was caused by an explosion of 400 tons of Hezbollah attack tunnels between the Lebanese villages of Tayibe and Odaisseh (like the one we saw and exploded by Engineering Corps).
It crossed Atzva’s mind – What if there be an earthquake, we are all afraid, while we are in war? When the government offices are barely functioning and the IDF, that might be the only force that might handle it , is fully drafted in this war? that might be a real catastrophe.
Take Care
