About the same.
Now Arabs will say...Israelis knew about it, planned it, orchestrated it, and all that to knock down the mosques on the temple mount.

No. There have been more terrorist attacks recently then natural incidents.
Now, the degree of damage would potentially be more widespread in a natural incident (earthquake) than in a terrorist attack. Furthermore, you can do something about terrorist attacks, for the time being you really can't do anything about an earthquake.
So, I guess it really depends on whether you're talking about a need to worry about (1) the chance of occurence or (2) the resulting damage/death.
Which worries you most?

In truth, yes. Israel has shown its ability to triumph over terror, even if not completely. Rockets may continue to be a threat, but if we compare the state of Israel today to just a couple years ago, we find that Israel has done a remarkable job both fighting terror and recovering from it. A major earthquake however is something different entirely. A bad earthquake can be devastating to Israel, especially taking into account the sheer number of old buildings in the country. Geological estimates would suggest that a large one is on its way; hopefully Israeli architecture will be prepared.

It would be a disaster if a earthquake were to spark another war.
That last major earthquake that the article mentioned also did serious damage to the dome of the rock

If something like that were to happen again religious fanatics might see it as a sign to start a major war, if that happens heaven help us all.

Nope, I think we need to worry about the attacks more.

Oh great.. . let's hope not... maybe Hashem will come to our rescue and they will hit only those who seek to destroy us and no innocents.

Well if you stop bombing them in their home ground then you have less to worry about.
