The pace is astonishing: In the wake of the brutal attacks by Hamas-led militants on October 7, Israeli forces have struck more than 22,000 targets inside Gaza, a small strip of land along the Mediterranean coast. Just since the temporary truce broke down on December 1, Israel's Air Force has hit more than 3,500 sites.
The Israeli military says it's using artificial intelligence to select many of these targets in real-time. The military claims that the AI system, named "the Gospel," has helped it to rapidly identify enemy combatants and equipment, while reducing civilian casualties.
But critics warn the system is unproven at best — and at worst, providing a technological justification for the killing of thousands of Palestinian civilians.

"These robotic systems will likely be able to identify and kill targets without much or any human intervention. King says it's likely to make combat in the future even faster and deadlier, but the nature of war will remain the same." --- Has everyone just ignored literally every movie about using AI and that it eventually becomes self aware and takes over humanity? Like...sure people can say "those are movies" but AI has already evolved - deepfakes, large language models. Chat GPT. All these things are AI. The robots they've created so far...it's just mind boggling.

A couple weeks ago I thought about the IDF flooding the Hamas tunnels. They have started to do this. I surmised the IDF had the capability to conduct Operation Flooding because Israel is H20 smart. Every day the country desalinates over 400 million gallons of water and even exports it to neighboring countries.
