I had a dream a month ago that a tsunami reached to my fourth floor apartment window in Sha'ar Ha'Aliyah! First, I heard the water sucking away from the shore line. By the time I looked out the window, the building was surrounded by sea water, all the way up to my floor. I could hear the building groaning under the weight of the water pushing against it. It pulled away and happened all over again, only faster the second time. I truly hope that was only a dream.

Casualties and damage accounts for Iranian countre-strike : The temblor would cause 7,000 deaths, wound 70,000 and render 170,000 homeless. It is awkwardly hidden under a The temblor as Israel does not want to show it was preparing countre-strikes by Iran. However you may take surely that is the minimal losses Israel might face.

Wrong. It is a rather interestingly timed drill, though, I must say, and has far more to do with Israel's ability to launch ULF waves, and the absolute havoc that would cause in seismically compromised Iran. I suspect that such an act is definitely on the table, and Israel is exercising prudent caution in worrying about aftershocks, although given the fault lines which Iran sits astride, the aftershocks would tend to run east and north. Turkey DEFINITELY has something to worry about. Iran cannot mount a successful attack against Israel. Their materiel is old and outdated -- they couldn't defeat a vastly inferior Iraq, and lost one million troops in their futile effort. What chance do you think Iran would stand against Israel? Especially if Israel were to decide to pull the plug on Iran?

If Israel cannot handle logistics during the Lebanon crisis, how would they fair in an earthquake?

Maybe you, in Turkey should do the same. You have had your lot of earthquakes and yet your are still waiting for others to help you. A responsible government prepares for every situation.
