Paleoseismic investigation of the area has shown that surface faulting may have occurred during these events . The earlier and much stronger 1202 earthquake left evidence of fault displacement measuring . A more recently dated half-meter slip was also found , but it is unknown whether that movement can be attributed to either of the 1759 events or to the Galilee earthquake of 1837 . Further research was done in the Zebadani valley in Syria along the Serghaya fault . A half-meter high scarp was found , and after investigative trenching it was determined that the most recent previous seismic event dated to 1650 , and the scarp was interpreted to be the result of one of the 1759 events , but it could not be resolved to either specific earthquake
