In the early hours of the morning in Turkey, a notification indicating that a magnitude 7 earthquake would occur in Israel, 1100 km away, caused great panic among millions of people. While it is suggested that Israel's earthquake network application may have been remotely intervened in its real-time warning system today, it is claimed that this could lead to a major panic if repeated in other cities in the future.
A striking new claim has emerged regarding the earthquake notification that was sent simultaneously to millions of mobile phones in Turkey, causing widespread panic. The alert received by users during the night contained information that a magnitude 7 earthquake was expected, not in Turkey, but centered in Israel.
FALSE LOCATION WARNING CAUSED PANIC
The delivery of the notification via the real-time earthquake network application to users in Turkey raised questions about the reliability of early warning systems. The notification indicating a region approximately 1100 kilometers away sparked a debate over whether it was a technical error or a different situation.
"REMOTE INTERVENTION" CLAIM ON THE AGENDA
According to the claim put forward regarding the incident, it is suggested that Israel may have remotely intervened in the real-time warning system of the earthquake network application. According to this scenario, the system may have been directed to send false alarms to devices in different countries, and a similar situation could potentially recur in other cities, leading to significant panic.
OFFICIAL STATEMENT EXPECTED
No comprehensive technical assessment has yet been made by the relevant authorities on the matter. Experts emphasize that the cybersecurity infrastructure of early warning systems is vital, while the question of whether the system is open to external intervention remains a topic of discussion.
