The concern stemmed not only from the widespread feeling of concussions, but also from close proximity Detonation From seismic faults that extend underneath Lebanon’s topography From north to SouthWhich prompted specialists to knock Alarm.
The conversation here is about an explosion Military tunnel It is hidden from the eyes of the population, making it difficult to determine the details of its construction, or to estimate the explosive power used.
However, Professor Tony Nemer, a researcher in geology and seismology at the American University of Beirut, believes in an exclusive interview with Sky News Arabia that “this explosion could lead to changes in the pressures on seismic faults in Lebanon, which increases the possibility of earthquakes.” Residents of northern Israel felt concussions during the explosion, which strengthens these possibilities.
High risks and warnings
Nimr pointed out that the bombing in the Al-Adaysah area is considered very dangerous, as it occurred in a location very close to seismic faults, while most previous bombings during the war were relatively far from those faults.
Although there are no specialized devices in Lebanon to measure changes in geological pressures, repeated strikes in these sensitive areas may stimulate movement on faults, which may result in earthquakes.
Impacts on infrastructure
For his part, Assistant Dean of the Faculty of Engineering at Beirut Arab University, Professor Yahya Tamsah, indicated in an interview with Sky News Arabia that “concussions resulting from explosions have a negative impact on facilities and buildings.
Although buildings may be resistant to earthquakes, large and destructive explosions can cause damage no less serious than that caused by a strong earthquake.
Temsah confirmed that some buildings near the bombing site have turned into unbalanced buildings, which requires urgent engineering scrutiny.
Additional recommendations and warnings
Recommended Experts Not to interfere in nature or carry out human activities that affect sensitive seismic areas, warning that the seismic fault, which extends about 1,000 kilometers, may be partially affected in the event of a major earthquake, which will affect northern Palestine as well as Lebanon.
In conclusion, specialists called for the necessity of inspecting damaged buildings to ensure their safety, and taking preventive measures to avoid potential disasters.
