An earthquake rattled Israel at about half-past-midnight Saturday, the third tremor felt throughout the land in six days.

No injuries or damages were reported from the quake, which measured 4.1 on the Richter Scale, with its epicenter in the center of the country.

Buildings near the Temple Mount in Jerusalem shook, albeit mildly, for about 10 seconds before silence settled again over the sleeping capital.

Two quakes were reported last Monday, the first measuring 3.0 and the second a 4.2. They originated near the northern end of the Dead Sea.

Following Monday's shake-up, Israeli news media ran reports about the country's unpreparedness to deal with a large temblor, even though one is believed to be inevitably on the way.
