There have been previous earthquake warnings in Israel and Haaretz reports today again that a major earthquake may hit Israel at any tine. Read the full report here.
Dr. Avi Shapira, the chairman of the inter-ministry steering committee for earthquake preparedness, asserts that a strong earthquake can be expected here within the next 50 years.
