The country\u2019s deadliest earthquake in modern history struck in October 1992, when a 5.8-magnitude quake shook the capital, killing over 500 people and displacing thousands.<\/p>\n Alerts in Israel<\/p>\n In Israel, Android users received earthquake alerts early Monday\u00a0after an internal system registered that numerous devices with the same operating system had shaken at the same time, the Israel Geological Survey said on Facebook, stressing that it was not an official alert from the IDF Home Front Command.<\/p>\n The Android system concluded from the simultaneous shaking that an earthquake was taking place, and warned users in the region, including in Israel, of a 5.9-magnitude rattler, according to the Geological Survey.<\/p>\n The state body added that its own nationwide alert system, dubbed Truaa, \u201cidentified the quake in real time, but given its magnitude and the distance from the state\u2019s borders, the system was not supposed to activate warnings to Israelis, even if it was felt in part of Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n The survey added that the Google system had \u201caccidentally identified\u201d a 5.1-magnitude earthquake in Israel on the morning of June 13, 2025, when the Home Front Command triggered a nationwide missile alert to warn that Israel was striking Iran, causing millions of Israelis to fumble for their phones and scramble for shelter.<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t The war with Iran has been draining for all of us in Israel. But when I heard about a high casualty incident \u2013 ballistic missile impacts in Arad and Dimona that left nearly 200 people wounded \u2013 I drank a cup of coffee, packed a bag, and headed south.<\/p>\n There, I spoke with Shilgit, the head of an after-school program for underprivileged youth. Standing outside her destroyed center, Shilgit said it was a miracle that no children were hurt and spoke about the community coming together in the hours since.<\/p>\n As a Times of Israel reporter, I\u2019m committed to telling stories of resilience like Shilgit\u2019s. But my colleagues and I can’t do this alone. If you value work like this, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community.
