4.2 earthquake hits Mediterranean sea off Lebanon coast
Another earthquake with the magnitude of 4.2 was felt in Lebanon on Wednesday morning at 8:01 am.
The quake hit the Mediterranean sea off the coast of Lebanon at 61 Kilometers from Sidon with no reports of damage or casualties.
The quake was felt in Syria and Palestine.
Lebanon’s residents have been jittery since a devastating 7.8-magnitude earthquake rocked southern Turkey and northern Syria on February 6 and was strongly felt in Lebanon. The quake left nearly 45,000 dead in both countries.
The deadly Turkey-Syria earthquake was followed by hundreds of aftershocks and some of them were also felt in Lebanon.
On Monday, a 6.4-magnitude earthquake rocked Turkey's southern province of Hatay and northern Syria, killing eight people and sparking fresh panic in Lebanon, where some residents fled their homes, especially in Tripoli and Beirut.
