Tremors stirring fears of possible deadly earthquake in Israel Empty Tremors stirring fears of possible deadly earthquake in Israel

An estimated 7,000 people could be killed, tens of thousands injured and a further 200,000 left homeless if a powerful earthquake struck Israel, a government minister has warned following six separate tremors over the past week.

The home front defence minister, Gilad Erden, told the Israeli parliament this week that national disaster exercises would be held over the coming weeks.

"This is not in response to the recent series of earthquakes, but rather part of our programme of preparation and response in the event of a [major] earthquake," he said.
