Slaughter factory; How does Israel use artificial intelligence for massacre?

According to the report of the Fars International News Agency, the Israeli army has been bombarding Gaza in an unprecedented and crazy volume for the past 66 days (with the exception of a week of ceasefire), more than 50,000 tons of bombs and missiles so far. It has been poured on the people of Gaza and the extent and severity of the destruction is unbelievable.

According to the media reports and according to the officials of the Israeli army, this regime is in the war in a large way to bombard Gaza with artificial intelligence. It makes it possible to increase the volume of bombing in an unprecedented way. In the May 2021 war, Israel announced that it had used artificial intelligence for the first time, but this time it went to use this technology in a more extensive way. In the following, we will examine a few cases.

On October 22, the Israeli army released a video of the “Magellan” unit using highly accurate mortars called “Iron Sting” ) were for Gaza shellers. “Elbit Systems” company unveiled these bullets in March 2021, but according to Yediot Aharonot newspaper, “Iron Fang” bullets will be used for the first time in the current war in Gaza.

Infantry teams usually use mortar shells in war zones, and Izzedin al-Qassam brigades themselves also use them against Israeli soldiers, but the accuracy of ordinary mortar shells is relatively low, which requires the use of a large number of them; This is where the value of “Iron Sting” mortars comes into view; According to the manufacturer, this mortar is used to target fixed targets with high accuracy using laser guidance or GPS.

Artificial intelligence based drones

The American newspaper Politico wrote in a report that hours after the “Al-Aqsa storm” operation on October 7, the Israeli army quickly started writing letters to the American company “Skydio” active in the field of production drones and called for short-range drones based on artificial intelligence to perform 3D scanning of complex engineering structures such as various buildings. After that, three weeks after the war, this American company more It provided Israel with 100 of these types of drones, and according to Mark Valentine, the manager of Skydo, more drones are going to be sent to the Israeli army. According to Politico, Skydo is not the only company that provides equipment to the Israeli army; So that in the recent war, the market of technology companies based on artificial intelligence has heated up in the United States.

All this while the Israeli army is using UAVs from the American company ShieldAI, i.e. Nova2 drones. , these types of drones do not require GPS or a human operator and can fly inside and outside buildings according to computer algorithms.

Other reports also indicate that Israel The United States has requested 200 Switchblade 600 suicide drones, which are equipped with advanced cameras, can carry a certain amount of explosives, and have the ability to receive information from nearby drones. Switch Build 600 drones are mainly used to attack close targets. This model has a range of 40 km and the ability to fly for 40 minutes. These are the same drones that the US military provided to Ukraine last year during the war with Russia.

Bombing according to algorithms

The use of the Israeli army Artificial intelligence is not limited to the aforementioned advanced drones, but the devastating part of the story is when artificial intelligence is used to identify and determine targets for bombing. One of these technologies, acknowledged by the Israeli army and brought to the media, is “The Gospel” (Gospel – in Christianity means good news). The number of civilian casualties in the bombing is used to suggest the most suitable targets for attack and to calculate the amount of ammunition needed. According to the report of the French newspaper “Liberation”, these algorithms are considered one of the most destructive and deadly methods of bombing in the 21st century.

Liberation reported that Israel’s use of this technology explains that How can the Israeli army bombard Gaza in this “crazy” volume? According to Israeli statistics, in the first 35 days of the war, 15,000 points were bombed in Gaza. The IDF has acknowledged that Gospel AI allows it to automatically locate targets at high speed.

Israeli army said that artificial intelligence “The Gospel” registers 100 targets for bombing every day slow, while the army previously set 50 targets in Gaza to bombard them. » have described.

Experts say AI-based support systems for targeting typically use large sets of information from a wide range of sources, such as drone footage, intercepted communications, surveillance data and intelligence. obtained by monitoring the movements and behavioral patterns of individuals and large groups are analyzed.

As ​​it is known, the Israeli army uses its latest technologies and other western countries to deal with It benefits the resistance groups who are fighting with minimal facilities; An army that, after 66 days of the war, still has no remarkable achievements to present to the public opinion of Israel.
