On 3 Feb, a Dutch seismologist predicted an earthquake sooner or
later in the region of Turkey where it just occurred. He didn't
predict that it was imminent but it turned out that it was. After
the fact, he wrote this, as quoted by the Jerusalem Post:
<https://www.jpost.com/international/article-730932>

The large earthquakes in Central Turkey have caused a significant
change in stress distribution throughout the region, with seismic
activity down to Palestine as a result. Clearly, the region is resettling.

What does "seismic activity is down to Palestine" mean? Does it
mean that it will increase in Palestine and decrease elsewhere?

"Down to Palestine", not "is down to Palestine" - i.e. as far south as
Palestine.

It's not Palestine's /fault/, as far as I know.

Any seismologist who has studied a region will know, based on
the region's underlying tectonic makeup and its history of seismic
activity, the approximate risk of another quake.

I think the reference is not only seismic but also geographic. I'm
fairly sure that Hoogerbeets means the seismic shifting that has
already occurred in the region is likely to lead to further activity -- i.e..
more earthquakes -- as the tectonic plates in the region settle into a
new balance. It follows that "down to Palestine" can be read as
"as far south as Palestine".

There's certainly a lot of resettling happening in Palestine.

And Dingbat, don't hesitate to actually try to contact the author Mr Hoogerbeets. Don't worry he speaks English, too.
