Possibly caused by undeground tunnels of the resistance.

Maybe God is preparing the Lebanese people of what is coming, would be much worse than an earthquake.

Your picture is very deceitful ... discredits you as a reporter or editor... the quake is 130km off the coast yet the pic implies its in south Lebanon... disappointing

It is a definitely zionist earthquake. We need a new armed resistance against earthquakes.
