AI-assisted targeting in the Gaza Strip

During the Israel–Hamas war, the Israel Defense Force (IDF) used artificial intelligence to rapidly and automatically perform much of the process of determining what to bomb. Israel greatly expanded the bombing of the Gaza Strip, which in previous wars had been limited by the Israeli Air Force running out of targets.

Their tools included the Gospel, an AI which was thought to automatically review surveillance data looking for buildings, equipment and people likely belonging to the enemy, and upon finding them, propose a targeting recommendation for a human analyst to decide whether to pass it along to the field. Another was Lavender, an "AI-powered database" which listed tens of thousands of Palestinian men linked by AI to Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and which was used for target recommendation.
