A 3.2-magnitude earthquake jolted northern Israel, causing a brief but noticeable tremor. Tiberias Mayor Yossi Nevaeh, who was in his office during the event, described the sensation as feeling like the office was moving. While he wasn't frightened, Nevaeh emphasized the vulnerability of the city hall building, which is not reinforced and would be the first to collapse in a more severe earthquake. This warning comes on the heels of a 4.2-magnitude earthquake in the Dead Sea area and northern Negev, which occurred just a few days prior. The tremor was felt by residents in various locations, including Tiberias, Jerusalem, Beersheba, the western Negev, the Judean Foothills, and more. The epicenter of the Tiberias earthquake was located near the Sea of Galilee. Despite the lack of reported damage, the event serves as a reminder of the importance of preparedness and readiness for more significant earthquakes, as stressed by professional authorities in Israel.
