“If it were an earthquake of similar magnitude and damage that hit Israel, they would humanitarily help each other celebrate.”
Not so sure, with their present governments. Iran certainly would celebrate, the Palestinians would celebrate, US Leftists (Ukraine War supporters) would celebrate, but most of Israel’s long-time enemies (such as most Arab countries) are not so much enemies anymore.
True, but the State of Israel will respond quickly for a two fold reason. It undermines the hate Israel, hate Jews meme of Islamacists both in the effected countries and beyond in the greater Arab Muslim worls, secondly it demonstrates how fast Israel can react and deploy military assets, giving the effected populations something to ponder.
Zelensky sent Net a memo this morning...”Hey...I asked first”.

Israel, Lebanon, and the Sinai are on the major fault line. There may be 6 more earthquakes some around the current Turkey-Syria center of activity.
