On January 22, 2022 at 21:36 UTC, a magnitude 4.1 shallow crustal earthquake struck 4 km E of Taiyiba, Israel, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 32.6069°, 35.4940°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.1 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 21 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 406 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
