Explosion In Lebanon Triggers Earthquake Warnings In Israel

The Israel Geological Survey issued a statement.

On October 26, at 07:02-07:04, earthquake warnings were activated in many locations in Israel. It was later determined to be a false alarm, writes Detali.

The Home Front Command activates an earthquake warning only in the event of an earthquake that could endanger human life, i.e. an earthquake with a magnitude of over 4. The Home Front Command is currently investigating why the warning system failed.

At 07:10, the Golan Heights Regional Council reported that IDF forces blew up an enemy compound in Lebanon. Due to the detonation of a very large amount of explosives, an earthquake warning was activated in large areas of the country.

At 07:24, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit stated: “In the last few minutes, the northern part of the country has heard the echoes of explosions following IDF activity in southern Lebanon, and there are no concerns about a security incident.” The Israel Geological Survey issued a statement, according to which earthquake warnings were activated following a controlled explosion of significant force that occurred this morning in the northern region. The warning system identified the explosion as an earthquake, and the corresponding alert was issued. IDF forces detonated a Hezbollah explosives depot in Lebanon.
