Israeli broadcaster Channel 14 reported Thursday evening that a powerful earthquake has struck Venezuela, expressing fears of thousands dead and many trapped under rubble. The report, attributed to the channel's news desk, describes the event as a 'disaster' but does not specify a magnitude or provide updated official casualty figures. This follows hours of rolling coverage by The Zioneer of the Venezuela quake earlier Thursday, when a magnitude 7.1 tremor struck near La Guaira and Caracas, with the official death toll reported at 164 by evening. The new Channel 14 report suggests the situation may be deteriorating or that additional unconfirmed reports of higher casualties are circulating, though no independent verification is yet available.
