Is Syria, Lebanon and the Levant region on the verge of a devastating earthquake?

Is there an earthquake coming to the Levant after the successive earthquakes that occurred in Syria and Lebanon raised fears and questions about what the more than 9 earthquakes in the past 24 hours portend?

In an explanation of those tremors, some of which have a intensity of 4.8 on the Richter scale, the Director of the National Center for Earthquakes, Abdul Muttalib Al-Shalabi, told RT that the tremors are a natural phenomenon, as the Earth is a group of tectonic plates that move continuously, and as a result of this movement, an accumulation of stress occurs, and this stress is released from Through tremors, as for the type of tremor, whether it is large, medium or small, it is unpredictable.”
Regarding the devastating earthquakes that the region witnesses periodically, Shalaby says that historically an earthquake is recorded every 250 to 300 years.
When was the last earthquake?
The last devastating earthquake was recorded in 1759.
-Is that we are in the danger zone?
It is possible for an earthquake to occur every 250 to 300, but scientifically the stress (caused by the movement of plates in the earth) moves through tremors that may be small, medium or large, and this is something that no one can predict even in developed countries that witness many tremors, such as Japan .
It is not possible to know the intensity of the tremor, or to stop it, and coexistence with natural phenomena requires focusing on the issue of earthquake-resistant construction. In this case, the earthquake becomes like any other natural phenomenon and its losses are minimal.
* There are those who began to raise fears of a "tsunami", especially since the tremors or moderate earthquakes during the last period were concentrated in the coast, to what extent could this fear be reasonable?
-This is possible, and there are studies that say that it is possible to happen and there has been a tsunami previously, but if it is further from the coast, the severity is greater.
Can the successive tremors really be a warning of a major earthquake?
It is impossible to predict, and there are tremors all the time, whether people feel it or not, there are tremors that are recorded with us without being felt.

Birds predict before humans:
The head of the tectonics department at the center, Samer Zizfoun, said that predicting earthquakes is a difficult process, and that it is not possible to determine the location and time of the earthquake. , thus predicting the occurrence of an earthquake before humans.

Since the third of this month, the region has witnessed an earthquake (moderate earthquake) of a magnitude of 4.8, at a distance of 41 km from the city of Lattakia. It was felt by the residents of the city in addition to Tartous, Hama, Homs and Aleppo.

Since yesterday morning, Tuesday, a group of tremors began, the first of which was a slight tremor of about 3.3, 115 km northwest of the capital, Damascus, and 31 km northwest of Beirut.

This was followed by an earthquake after midnight (a moderate earthquake of 4.2 magnitude), near the Syrian coast, followed by two light aftershocks, then a group of "small magnitude" earthquakes.
This morning, Wednesday, a 4.7-magnitude earthquake was recorded near the Syrian coast, 40 km north of Lattakia.

This was followed by a 4.6-magnitude aftershock off the Syrian coast, 38 km northwest of Latakia.
