Every phone in Israel got a special message when missiles from Iran were fired. No application, no nothing, just by the virtue of being connected to to an Israeli phone cell tower (it worked even on imported phones)

My understanding that it is a standard feature, this is how earthquake warning works in Japan.

Point being there is no "hacking" involved. Standard feature

With all that being said, I'd consider that a gross misuse of emergency functionality.

I don't like having missiles fired at me, but if it's going to happen, an emergency warning would be greatly appreciated.

As someone mentioned, I’m talking about the parent context i.e. using it for Netanyahu’s speech.

A warning to take shelter from incoming missiles seems quite reasonable use of emergency broadcast systems to me.

I believe he’s talking about using it for Netanyahu’s speech

Basically a modern version of leaflets.
