The US intelligence community’s admission of Israel’s use of imprecise bombs in Gaza

According to the report of Fars News Agency International Group, a new assessment by the American intelligence agencies shows that almost half of the bombs that Israel has dropped on the people of Gaza since the beginning of its operation on October 7 are unguided bombs, or so-called have been “dumb bombs”.

This assessment was compiled by the US Office of the Director of National Intelligence and three sources who have seen it have provided details to CNN.

According to the report of the CNN news website, among the 29,000 bombs that Israel has used against Gaza so far, 40-50% of them were unguided bombs. According to this assessment, the rest of the bombs were precision-guided bombs.

This assessment is important because unguided bombs are typically less accurate and can, especially in areas like Gaza, which are densely populated. have a high population to cause higher casualties among civilians.

CNN news network admitted that Israel’s use of these bombs is probably one of the reasons that contributes to the increase in civilian casualties in Gaza.

The number of martyrs in Gaza

The Ministry of Health of Gaza announced this Thursday that the number of martyrs since the beginning of the Israeli attacks in Gaza has reached 18,787 people. it is arrived. 50 thousand and 897 people have been injured as a result of these attacks. On Tuesday, the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution that emphasized the need for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Many countries that previously opposed the ceasefire for the sake of Hamas changed their position in this resolution and called for an end to the war to end the suffering of the people of Gaza.

America is one of There were few countries that voted against the UN General Assembly resolution. This country had previously vetoed another resolution in the Security Council that had a similar goal.

Blind bombings

However, on Tuesday, US President Joe Biden admitted that Israel is carrying out “blind bombings” in Gaza. Is. Biden also acknowledged that international support for Israel’s war operations is waning.

However, Biden’s comments imply practical action to end the war that has killed thousands of civilians in Gaza has not led. Today Thursday, White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan met with Netanyahu’s war cabinet during his trip to occupied Palestine. CNN said about the new American intelligence assessment: “We do not comment on the type of bombs that we use.” Adheres to international law and ethical practices and uses “extensive resources” to minimize harm to civilians in Gaza. He claimed: “Our war is against Hamas, not against the people of Gaza.” However, experts have acknowledged in an interview with CNN that if Israel had bombed as much as the American intelligence assessment says. unguided uses The regime’s claim of trying to reduce civilian casualties is unbelievable.

Brian Costner, a former arms expert and current member of Amnesty International, on the assessment A new US intelligence source told CNN: “I was very surprised and concerned.” He added: “Even when using bombs that hit their targets precisely It’s bad enough. But if these bombs don’t have such accuracy, it creates a wider issue about harming civilians.”

Inhuman use of artificial intelligence

This is not the only revelation about Israel’s use of controversial methods to advance the war in Gaza. A few weeks before this, an English-language magazine revealed in a controversial investigative report that Israel uses artificial intelligence to deliberately increase civilian casualties.

+972 magazine, which has been working since 2010 to prepare detailed and investigative reports on issues related to Israel and Palestine, in a report published two weeks ago, wrote that the Israeli army has policies In order to increase the bank, it has taken civilian targets, and in addition, it has adjusted the restrictions for attacking civilians. 972 said that the main goal of Israel’s attacks is to harm the Palestinian civil society: that is, to create a shock that will have heavy consequences and cause “civilians to put pressure on Hamas.”

Several people from The sources, who asked not to be named, told the council that the Israeli army has information on a large number of possible targets in Gaza, and based on that, they already have hypotheses about how many casualties an attack on a location will leave.

Magazine +972 wrote: “The executions and numbers have been calculated and the intelligence units of the Israeli army know about it in advance and even shortly before the attack they are sure how many civilians are going to be killed.” be killed.”

According to this research, another reason for the high number of Israeli targets and the widespread damage caused to the lives of civilians is the widespread use of a system called Habsura by the Israeli army. or “Gospel”. This system is designed to a large extent based on artificial intelligence and can generate a bank of targets automatically and at a speed that was not possible before. This artificial intelligence system, as one former intelligence officer described it, actually facilitates the work of “a factory of mass terror.” According to sources, the increasing use of the systems Based on artificial intelligence like Gospel, it allows the army to carry out large-scale attacks on residential houses where, for example, one of the low-ranking agents of Hamas lives.

US complicity

The report of the CNN news network tried to exonerate the administration of Joe Biden from the controversial operations that Israel is conducting. In a part of its report, this news channel claims that there is a difference between the cabinet of Benjamin Netanyahu and Joe Biden over the war methods used by Israel in Gaza.

Despite this, the Wall Street Journal in A report 13 days ago revealed that the US government, despite pretending to be concerned about civilian casualties in Gaza, provided Israel with at least 100 mortar bombs.

This newspaper stated in that report. It was that America has increased the shipment of weapons to Israel in an opaque and secret manner since October 7 and has provided 15,000 bombs and artillery shells to this regime.

Wall Street Journal wrote. Sending these bombs while the United States is calling its main ally in the region on the one hand to avoid increasing civilian casualties, but on the other hand, to provide Tel Aviv with many of the ammunition that will be used to carry out those operations.
