USGS recorded a magnitude 4.1 in southern Lebanon after Israel said it demolished Hezbollah tunnels under Ali al-Taher Ridge. [1] France 24 filed the tremor with the blast. [1] This paper already printed the demolition. A 4.1 is an instrument reading, not a tectonic quake. Print the number. Do not print a natural earthquake.

A second USGS line is not a second ridge. Position 15 already owns the tunnel claim. This feature only names the seismograph. Do not invent casualties from the tremor. Do not invent a cease-fire.

Four-point-one remains an instrument reading after a demolition, not a tectonic event on this Thursday world desk.
Print 4.1. Print blast, not quake. Thursday is not a natural earthquake under southern Lebanon.
