Lebanon Faces Earthquake Risk After Ali Al-Tahir Explosion
A tunnel network belonging to Hezbollah was destroyed in the Al-Tahir area south of Lebanon using 1,100 tons of explosives, resulting in an earthquake with a magnitude close to 4.2 on the Richter scale. According to measurements, Lebanese and Israeli geophysical centers recorded seismic waves caused by the explosions. Images from the area showed shaking houses, as well as smoke and dust flying. The explosion was followed by warnings about potential effects on the active fault lines in the region, especially the Rumm Fault, given the proximity of the blast site to the fault and its danger to the geological stability of the area. Researchers confirmed that these explosions could lead to subsequent earthquakes due to changes in underground pressures, emphasizing the need to conduct drilling operations based on thorough geological studies to avoid future seismic risks.
