Dutch seismologist Frank Hoogerbeets, who "predicted" an earthquake in Turkey in February 2023, warned of a major earthquake expected in the Middle East.
According to Hoogerbeets, a planetary alignment involving Mercury, Earth, Mars and other planets on February 24 could bring significant seismic activity, possibly resulting in an earthquake that could reach a magnitude of 7.8 or higher.
"It's not unimaginable that it could happen in the near future. I'm not saying it will happen, but there is potential. And these atmospheric anomalies are very close," he said, highlighting the heightened risks in regions such as eastern Turkey and Iran, where earthquakes of magnitude 6 to 7 are possible.
"It doesn't happen often, but if you're in Iran, be on extra alert as well," he added.
Israeli earthquake experts stressed that preparations for a major earthquake should be based on established geological data and not on speculative or astrological methods, Maariv reported.
Hoogerbeets, who works for the Solar System Geometry Survey (SSGS) in the Netherlands, went viral in 2023 after tweeting his prediction of an earthquake in Turkey, a previous article by The Jerusalem Post reported.
