Earthquake Rocks Southern Israel; No Casualties Reported

JERUSALEM (Worthy News-Telegram)— A 4.2 magnitude earthquake rocked southern Israel early Thursday, including the Dead Sea and parts of the Negev area, and residents were urged to rush to safety, experts and officials said. "Immediately go out into the open," said the Home Front Command, a branch of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) dealing with emergencies. “If not possible, enter [a] protected room or stairwell." There were no immediate reports of casualties. Israel's national emergency medical service, Magen David Adom, said that following the quake, its hotline had not yet received any calls regarding injuries as a result of the incident.

Gospel singer Baht Rivka Whitten, who knows the area well, urged prayers. “I think there was just an earthquake in the Negev area. Residents all around Israel report feeling it. So much happening in the world right now. I know it's late, but if you're seeing this, say a prayer for the Middle East.” The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre said the earthquake, which occurred at 9:00 am local time, was a 4.2 on the Richter magnitude scale.
 
Later article time than post time due to time zone difference.
