ALBAWABA - In a groundbreaking report from the "+972" news site, it is suggested that Israeli occupation is incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) technology in its recent attacks on Gaza. 

The investigation, conducted in collaboration with Local Call and based on interviews with seven individuals, both current and former members of Israeli intelligence, sheds light on the military's use of AI to forecast civilian casualties in targeted operations.

The findings reveal that the Israeli occupation military strategically employs AI in the process of selecting targets within Gaza. According to intelligence sources with past involvement in Gaza attacks, the deliberate targeting of civilian infrastructure serves the purpose of creating a palpable "shock" effect on Palestinian civilians, ultimately exerting "civil pressure" on Hamas.

Prior to launching attacks, the military allegedly conducts a meticulous analysis, estimating the number of potential targets, including residential structures, and calculating the anticipated number of civilians residing in those areas.

This pre-analysis provides the military with advance knowledge of the approximate civilian casualty figures before initiating an attack.

In a disturbing revelation, sources claim that the Israeli occupation military knowingly sanctioned an attack resulting in the deaths of hundreds of Palestinian civilians, all in pursuit of assassinating a senior Hamas military commander.

A significant contributing factor to the increased civilian death toll, in comparison to previous Israeli occupation attacks, is attributed to the widespread application of the Habsora system. Developed extensively with AI technology, this system enables the automatic generation of targets at a scale described as "beyond what was previously possible."

Insiders suggest that there is a prevailing sentiment among top military officials, acknowledging failures on October 7th, and now grappling with the task of crafting a narrative that projects a triumphant image to the Israeli occupation public, aiming to restore their tarnished reputation.
