"A 5.2M earthquake hit central and northern Israel, along with surrounding countries, on Monday night, Israeli media and scientific organizations reported.
According to a walla report, the earthquake in Israel was of magnitude 5.2.
The quake was at a depth of 10 km (6.21 miles), GFZ said."

"A State Comptroller report from January warned that Israel was not prepared for a major earthquake, like the ones seen in Morocco, Turkey and Syria last year.
In September, shortly after a massive earthquake struck Morocco killing 2,800 people, State Comptroller Matanyahu Englman released a video in which he said, "Six months ago, it was Turkey. On [Friday], Morocco faced a fatal earthquake. The State of Israel continues to neglect earthquake preparedness despite these stark reminders."
"A strong earthquake in Israel is a matter of time," Englman wrote. "The state is still not adequately prepared for an earthquake event."
60% of Israel's hospitals are not resistant to earthquakes, and only approximately 5% of schools and other educational institutions have been or are being reinforced.
MDA spokesman Zaki Heller commented on the earthquake, saying, "No reports of injuries or damage have been received at MDA's 101 hotline. There are only a few calls from citizens to MDA’s 101 about feelings of anxiety."
