People in North and Mount Lebanon felt the earth rock back and forth on Friday night around 9:15 PM. An earthquake of magnitude 4.8 occurred in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Syria, northwest of Latakia.
Though it wasn’t a strong level earthquake, it was felt among many across the coastline of Lebanon, Syria, and Turkey. In Lebanon, it was felt mainly in the northern part.
