An earthquake of magnitude 6 struck off the coast of Crete, Greece, on Thursday, the German Research Center for Geosciences (GFZ) said.
The quake was at a depth of 77 km (47.85 miles), GFZ said.
The temblor sent shivers across Israel with residents in Haifa, Jerusalem, Holon, and Beersheba among those who said they felt it, the Ynet outlet reported.
It came after last week residents of numerous areas around Israel, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, reported feeling an earthquake shortly after a 6.3 magnitude quake struck Crete.
GFZ had earlier assigned a magnitude of 6.5 to the earthquake.
