A 3.0 magnitude earthquake was felt in northern Israel early Wednesday, with its epicenter located near the northern city of Tiberias.
No injuries or damage were reported.
Esti Dahan, a Tiberias resident, recalled how her entire room was shaking.
"There was noise from the furniture moving. Its the first time in my life that I felt an earthquake, and its really scary. I live in an old house and its not protected against quakes," she said. "But I'm not worried. I believe that what needs to be, will be."
Concerns of an earthquake in Israel have increased since this morning's incident, with the shadow of calamities due to the natural disasters in Turkey and Syria. These quakes have taken the lives of more than 50 thousand people, and they were felt in Israel as well.
Israeli cities located on the Great Rift Valley are considered to "prone to calamity" in the case of a severe earthquake. Consequently, residents from Beit She'an, Kiryat Shmona, and Tiberias have called on senior decision-makers to take necessary steps to act on the warnings, before it is too late.
The last big quake was recorded in 1927 and occurred every 100 years or so.
