A recent earthquake in central Syria has stirred distressing memories of last year's devastating tremor, although it has had only a minor impact this time around.
Measuring 5.5 on the Richter scale and striking 28 kilometers east of Hama, the quake was also felt in Damascus and Beirut, prompting residents to take to the streets in fear of aftershocks.
The US Geological Survey has confirmed the quake’s magnitude as 5.0 with a depth of 10 kilometers.
