A magnitude 5.2 earthquake struck Egypt early Monday morning, according to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre. The agency said the quake occurred at a depth of 10 kilometers.

The tremors were felt beyond Egypt, with residents in central and southern Israel reporting that they noticed the shaking. Early reports focused on how widely the quake was felt across the region rather than on damage.

The incident highlights how moderate earthquakes in Egypt can be sensed in neighboring countries, especially when they occur at relatively shallow depth. Officials and monitoring agencies typically continue assessing seismic activity after an event like this as more local reports come in.
