All data USGS
An incredible 11 major quakes, mag 6 or higher have been recorded by USGS since Hamas attacked Israel just over a week earlier, this is indeed impressive until we look a little deeper, or indeed a lot shallower!
Of the 11 registered major quakes since the attack, at least four have been registered as mining or null explosions.
NULL Explosions
I once emailed USGS to ask them what a 'null' quake was, and they answered probably a mining explosion . . .
However, many of these 'null' quakes are registered thousands of kilometres away from land so this would have to be something else. An underwater volcano for instance, or maybe something a little more sinister, nuclear testing?
For example in early September 2017, the USGS reported a possible explosion, located near the site where North Korea has detonated nuclear explosions in the past. The USGS National Earthquake Information Center could not determine its type, whether nuclear or any other possible type. A 6.3-magnitude seismic event was recorded in North Korea that the U.S. Geological Survey says was a "mining explosion," in what may be another nuclear test. The USGS said on its website that the event was a "possible explosion, located near the site where North Korea has detonated nuclear explosions in the past." Some past seismic events in North Korea have been caused by nuclear tests. More from USGS here

I'll bet those were methane explosions! Underground.....said to be mining "explosions"...seems to mimic where methane arises from.
Many times methane explosions can be mistaken for an earthquake. Our planet is releasing enormous amounts of methane every day which is a huge part of the warming issue and the need to treat that warming issue.
It's very public information if anyone cared to look it up. All those atmosphere damaging rockets we send up in the sky to monitor our earth's conditions are connected to gov web sites that allow public access to see for yourselves!
