Dr. Ariel Heiman, an expert on earthquakes, referred to the wave of earthquakes that hit Israel in the past week.
"A strong earthquake in Israel is not a question of 'if' but rather a question of 'when,' but we do not know how to predict." he said. The collection of earthquakes in recent days doesn't raise or lower the chance of a strong earthquake in the future. We need to ask what the government is doing to prepare the State of Israel."
