Lebanese Warn on Seismic Risks from Israeli Blasts
The article discusses Lebanese concerns regarding the potential geological repercussions of the repeated Israeli explosions in southern Lebanon, especially those targeting underground facilities and tunnels. Studies indicate that major explosions, such as those that hit the hill of Ali Al-Tahir, have caused strong vibrations, with a quake registering at 4.1 magnitude, and have impacted the pressure within underground layers. This raises the possibility of heightened seismic activity in the area. Experts explain that the effects of these detonations on active fault lines, particularly the Rmeil fault, could trigger additional tremors or future earthquakes. However, this necessitates precise scientific monitoring to study natural seismic activity. Additionally, specialists warn that the frequent explosions in seismically active regions may deteriorate geological stability, alongside adverse impacts on groundwater and infrastructure, thereby increasing the risk of environmental and material damages in the region.
