The Geological Survey of Israel identified a seismic event in southern Lebanon at 22:48 Jerusalem on Sunday evening, classifying it as a controlled explosion rather than a natural earthquake. The tremor was felt across parts of northern Israel, according to the institute's statement.
The institute activated its public reporting system, urging residents who felt the event to submit reports via a dedicated online form, aiming to improve risk-assessment capabilities.
The nature of the controlled blast—whether an Israeli military demolition, a Hezbollah operation, or another cause—has not been specified by the Geological Institute or any other official source. The event follows a pattern of periodic explosions and strikes in southern Lebanon reported over recent weeks, including building demolitions reported in Khiam on June 15 and strikes in Arab Salim on June 12, as The Zioneer has covered. No injuries or damage have been reported in connection with tonight's blast.
