Israel's AI targeting system: how data from a phone become a death sentence

What an upsetting read. This is just how you "breed" more terrorism.

No wonder there is so much hate towards Israel. Hasbara, is an Israeli thing to improve their image by telling lies.

“His family described him as a former fighter for the militant Islamist group, but who in his older age had taken an administrative role”

…this sounds like a valid military target. Hezbollah is a terrorist organization that, bewilderingly, has declared war on Israel. Whether or not Israel should be mucking around in southern Lebanon is somewhat orthogonal to the validity of an attack on such a man. (And being able to reduce civilian casualties with a phone call is a good thing.)

Given the IDF’s record, I’d assume a more-sympathetic target could be found.

Sounds to me like this is just signature strikes but replacing the analysts with AI.

And to think many would cheer if it were being applied to ends they approve of (enforcing some petty domestic law with fines and bureaucrats instead of taking foreign soil with bombs and soldiers, or whatever).

>a small village less than three miles from the Israeli border which had turned into a battlefield during Israel’s campaign against Hezbollah in 2024.

Classic New York Times style writing. This sentence should say “Israel attacked this village as part of its invasion of southern Lebanon and Hezbollah defended it”

Imagine if this whitewashing were done to Russia: Karkiv, a small city 10 miles from the Russian boarder which had turned into a battlefield during Russia’s campaign against Zelenski in 2022”
