An earthquake hit the central prairie area and was also felt in Eilat and Mitzpe Ramon. The shaking center is near Ein Yahav and reports a magnitude of 3.6 on the scale. No known casualties or property damage. It should be noted that only five days ago, the Gulf of Eilat landed an earthquake.

At the time, the quake was about 69 km from the city of Eilat and it was well felt in the city.

"At exactly 19:30, I felt the bed move and all the mirrors in the room," says Harush from Eilat. Berta, also a resident of Eilat, said that the sofa was really dancing with her. Assaf Subel from Eilat, who lives in the pumpkin neighborhood of Shachmon, said that in their building they felt the shaking "really loud".

In the Home Front Command, we have refreshed the guidelines for an earthquake:

• Staying in the building - If possible, open space should be provided. If it is not possible to leave the building, you must enter the room and leave the door and windows open or exit the stairs and continue down to the exit of the building.

• Staying outside - Stay outside and stay away from buildings, bridges and power poles.

• Passengers in the vehicle - The vehicle must be stopped, stopped and motorized and remain in the vehicle. Do not stop near bridges and interchanges.
