Possibility of aftershocks in Lebanon as a result of the earthquake that struck Jordan and Syria

The earthquake was felt in Damascus, Lebanon and Jordan.

Many Syrians, especially in Damascus, remember the 2023 7.8 magnitude earthquake that killed more than 50,000 people, mostly in Turkey, along with thousands of deaths in northern Syria, causing widespread devastation in both countries.

"The sound was similar, as if it was coming from the depths of the earth. I felt dizzy as I did the previous time, but this time the fear was greater because I knew what happened during the previous earthquake," said Umm Hamza, a resident of the capital Damascus.

For its part, the Syrian Civil Defense Organization reported that it had deployed its personnel in several areas in preparation for any emergency, but it had not received any reports of any damage so far.

The earthquake was also felt in various parts of Lebanon, and the Jordanian News Agency reported that an aftershock measuring 3.9 degrees occurred less than an hour after the first earthquake.
