According to the police, no reports of injuries or damage were received.
Ziva, who works in the Malcha neighborhood in Jerusalem said: "Suddenly I felt that my head was shaking and my cup of water was moving, shaking. I sit on the third floor. It is not the first time I feel an earthquake. I'm already used to it. Once when I was younger, there was a very powerful earthquake. I remember that a bus diverted to the sidewalk due to the intensity of the quake."
Ronny Weiss, 46, a resident of Ramat Gan said: "I live on the seventh floor and a few minutes ago everything started wobbling, everything moved, I got nauseous. The photos on the wall moved, the table. I was sitting on a chair and the chair began moving."
