"Mass murder factory": Israel uses artificial intelligence to exterminate Palestinians
"The responsibility cannot be shifted to any software system," says software engineer Laura Nolan about the use of artificial intelligence in warfare .
Investigations by +972 and Local Call magazines have revealed that Israel is using AI -based targeting systems.
The article, titled "Mass Kill Factory," says the system uses advanced technology to generate target recommendations faster than a human pool.
According to the journalists, another reason for the large number of targets in the Gaza Strip and the serious damage to the lives of civilians is the widespread use of the "Khabsora" ("Bible") system, which is mainly based on artificial intelligence. "Generate" targets almost automatically at a much faster rate than before. According to a former intelligence official, this artificial intelligence system is actually helping to create a "mass murder factory".
The Israeli military's use of artificial intelligence to expand its ability to bomb non-military targets and create more potential targets than ever before appears to have contributed to the disruptive nature of the stages, the article said.
According to current and former Israeli intelligence officials, these factors may have played a role in one of the deadliest military campaigns against Palestinians since the 1948 Nakba.
Compared to previous Israeli attacks on Gaza, the army has greatly expanded its bombing of non-military targets in the current war, which Israel calls Operation Iron Swords, and which began after Hamas attacked southern Israel on October 7. These include private homes, as well as public buildings, infrastructure and high-rise buildings that the army describes as "energy targets" ("matarot otzem"), the sources said.
According to intelligence sources with past experience in Gaza, the bombing of government targets is primarily intended to harm Palestinian civil society: to "create shock" and so on. According to another source, it was also intended to "force civilians to put pressure on Hamas." (Read Why Palestinians are siding with Hamas)
Several sources, who spoke to +972 and Local Call on condition of anonymity, said the Israeli army had information on potential targets, including homes, and estimates of how many residents would die. These numbers are calculated and known in advance to the army's intelligence units, who also know how many civilians are likely to die before an attack begins.
In one case discussed by the sources, Israeli military commanders knowingly approved the killing of hundreds of Palestinian civilians in an attempt to assassinate a senior Hamas military commander.
"Nothing happens by chance," said another source. "When a three-year-old girl was killed in a house in the Gaza Strip, someone in the army decided that killing her was not important, that she was the price to be paid for hitting another target. They happened by chance." "Not rockets. It's all intentional. We know exactly how much additional damage was done to every household."
According to the latest information from the editorial office of Azon Global, more than 20,000 people, more than 70 percent of whom are women and children, have been killed in mass killings carried out by Israel in the Gaza Strip since October 7. Also, about 53,400 people were injured. Thousands more civilians died under the rubble.
At the moment, Israel is trying to wipe the Gaza Strip off the face of the earth using the most destructive and deadly weapons in its possession. The United States, Europe and some of the Muslim (so-called) countries are directly supporting it, providing weapons, fuel and other resources.
