How the War in Gaza Drove Israel's A.I. Experiments
Briefly

In late 2023, Israel aimed to assassinate Hamas commander Ibrahim Biari, who was elusive due to his hiding in Gaza's tunnels. Unable to locate him, Israeli intelligence implemented a new AI-driven military technology to eavesdrop on his communications, leading to his positioning. On October 31, 2023, this resulted in a targeted airstrike that killed Biari alongside over 125 civilians. The incident reflects Israel's rapid adaptation and integration of AI technologies into military strategies for enhanced operational efficiency, including facial recognition and data analysis from Arabic sources.
Israeli forces have used AI-driven technologies to significantly enhance military operations, with recent airstrikes demonstrating their rapid deployment of such innovations, particularly in locating key Hamas figures.
Israel's military, particularly Unit 8200, has effectively integrated AI with existing tools to monitor communications, aiding in the targeting of key figures and identifying potential airstrike targets.
