At approximately 1:45AM, residents in Eretz Yisroel reported that their homes rattled in what felt like an earthquake. YWN has confirmed that the Geophysical Institute of Israel says that a small earthquake measuring 4.0 on the Richter Scale shook northern and central Israel overnight Monday. The earthquake was felt from as far north as Kiryat Shemona, to as far south as Yerushalayim. YWN received multiple reports from residents in Tzefas that felt the quake as well.
Boruch Hashem there are no injuries and/or damage being reported.
The last earthquake felt in Eretz Yisroel was on December 2 – (reported HERE on YWN) – and was the fourth quake felt in two weeks.

“received multiple reports from residents in Tzefas that felt the quake as well.”
that was me (just once and it was at 1:47)
Editors Note: Actually you were just one of four reports we received from Tzefas.
I didn’t feel it, I live near Shilo, but I was sleeping so I may have slept threw it.
i felt it, i woke up in maalot dafana
it was terrifying
I was sound asleep in tzefat and seem to remember waking up briefly but im a deep sleeper. But the people who heard said that furniture vibrated slightly but thats it. It was said to have originated near Tyre, Lebanon.
