The earthquake rupture terminated near Suvatlı in the Amik Valley, where some 10.5 km (6.5 mi) to its east is the Hacıpaşa Fault, a Dead Sea Transform segment. The rupture was arrested by a stepover that connects the East Anatolian Fault with the Hacıpaşa Fault.
551 – 551 Beirut earthquake affects much of the Middle East, possibly largest event in the Levant. [9] [10] Gush Halav is destroyed. A major tsunami sweeps the coast from Caesarea to Tripoli, Lebanon [11] 633 – affects Emmatha in the Yarmouk Valley [18] and possibly nearby Abila of the Decapolis. [19] 658 – affects Syria and Palestine. [10]
Since 1900, there has not been a M w 6.0 or larger earthquake within 500 km (310 mi) of the recent earthquake's epicenter; but nine M w 5.0 and larger events have occurred to its east. [23] In another finite fault model published by Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology , the focal depth was determined at 24.7 km (15.3 mi ...
The Shiveluch volcano began sputtering shortly after a powerful 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck off Kamchatka’s east coast early Sunday, according to volcanologists from the Russian Academy of ...
Up to 66,900 people died from earthquakes in 2023, the highest death toll for earthquakes since 2010. At least 59,488 people died in the Turkey–Syria doublets of February, which dominated world headlines because of its extensive devastation; the first mainshock was also the largest earthquake of the year at M w 7.8.
The 551 Beirut earthquake occurred on 9 July with an estimated magnitude of about 7.5 on the moment magnitude scale and a maximum felt intensity of X (Extreme) on the Mercalli intensity scale. It triggered a devastating tsunami which affected the coastal towns of Byzantine Phoenicia , causing great destruction and sinking many ships.

An earthquake struck the Jordan Rift Valley on December 5, AD 1033 and caused extreme devastation in the Levant region. It was part of a sequence of four strong earthquakes in the region between 1033 and 1035. Scholars have estimated the moment magnitude to be greater than 7.0 M w and evaluated the Modified Mercalli intensity to X (Extreme).
