Israel Experiments on Palestinians With Ai-Powered Gun at Checkpoints – MintPress - 2022

Palestinians argue the remote-controlled gun has a more sinister intention than the army is letting on. “Israeli security companies use Palestinians as training objects,” Amro said. “The Israeli army practices their new technology [on Palestinians] to check if it’s working or not, then they sell it to other countries.”

Smart Shooter is the company behind the newly-installed weapon. According to its website, the Israeli arms manufacturer uses artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computer vision to turn traditional firearms into smart weapons. The company’s slogan boasts “one shot, one hit”, indicating its target detection capabilities are so precise they’re able to hit moving objects with incredible accuracy.

Currently, Smart Shooter has several agreements with foreign militaries across the world.

How AI is intensifying Israel's bombardments of Gaza

War has always been an occasion for militaries to trade in weaponry. But as Israel’s asymmetrical bombardments on Gaza have become annual events, the army has started branding itself as something of a pioneer, exploring the uncharted territory of automated warfare. The IDF proclaimed it waged the “world’s first AI war” in 2021 — the 11-day offensive on Gaza codenamed “Operation Guardian of the Walls” which, according to B’tselem, killed 261 and injured 2,200 Palestinians. Drones wiped out entire families, damaged schools and medical clinics, and exploded high-rise buildings home to families, businesses, and media offices far from any military targets. 

As 72,000 Palestinians were displaced and thousands more mourned the dead, Israeli generals boasted that they had revolutionized warfare. “AI was a force multiplier for the IDF,”, detailing how robotic drones amassed surveillance data, pinpointed targets dropped bombs with minimal human intervention

Israel Is Using a Vast Network of Biometric Cameras to Terrorize Palestinians - Truthout – June 2023

The facial recognition surveillance system violates Palestinians’ human rights to freedom of movement and privacy.

Israel is deepening its system of apartheid in the occupied Palestinian territories by using artificial intelligence-powered biometric facial recognition technology to track and restrict the movements of Palestinian people.

Facial recognition technology identifies and categorizes people on the basis of their physical features, including race, ethnicity, gender, age and disability status

Israeli Occupation: How Microsoft, IBM, Cisco and Dell Enable Surveillance and Control in Palestine – June 2023

In September, Israel installed an AI-powered gun at a military checkpoint in the occupied West Bank city of Hebron. Now, that same technology has been deployed at the entrance of the Aida refugee camp in Bethlehem. Across occupied East Jerusalem, you can find surveillance cameras strategically placed on street corners. And throughout the West Bank, Palestinians’ encounters with Israeli soldiers often include not only violence but face-scanning apps designed to capture their personal data

Who Profits, an Israeli research center documenting the private sector’s links to Israeli occupation, released a report in May on multinational tech companies’ role in facilitating Israel’s human rights violations. The impact of each company ranges, with some overseeing a major project while others provide equipment to a system already in place.

The EU's funding and support for Israeli arms companies – euobserver

Israel's two largest arms companies, Elbit Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), which supply the IDF, also receive European funding.

Elbit manufactures armed swarm drones, white phosphorus and cluster bomb artillery, the use of which is illegal under international law, while IAI, which participated in various H2020 projects including SAFEDRONE and RESPONDRONE, is a key partner in patrolling the apartheid wall turning Gaza into an open-air prison.

Once 'tested' on Palestinians, EU investment comes full circle when the EU and its member states buy back the end product.

Israeli drone pilots targeted own settlements, bases, civilians on 7 October: Report – The Cradle

Israel’s fleet of Hermes 450 “Zik” armed drones carried out attacks on Israeli military bases, settlements, and civilians during the Hamas attack on 7 October, according to a 14 November report from Mishpacha Magazine.

Previous reports have emerged showing that Israeli forces used tanks to kill Israeli civilians barricaded inside homes with their Hamas captors, and Apache helicopters to fire on Hamas fighters and their Israeli captives while returning back to Gaza. 

During the fighting, some 1,200 Israelis were killed, with some killed by Hamas, and others by Israeli forces. Hamas took some 240 Israeli soldiers, civilians, and foreign workers captive.

🇵🇸A mass assassination factory’: Inside Israel’s calculated bombing of Gaza | 972mag

The Israeli army’s expanded authorization for bombing non-military targets, the loosening of constraints regarding expected civilian casualties, and the use of an artificial intelligence system to generate more potential targets than ever before, appear to have contributed to the destructive nature of the initial stages of Israel’s current war on the Gaza Strip, an investigation by +972 Magazine and Local Call reveals.

These factors, as described by current and former Israeli intelligence members, have likely played a role in producing what has been one of the deadliest military campaigns against Palestinians since the Nakba of 1948.

🇵🇸 Gaza is a weapons lab for the arms industry w/Antony Loewenstein | The Chris Hedges Report

Whether it's drone technology or the infamous Pegasus spy software, Israel has long developed and refined repressive technologies used by governments around the world by testing them on Palestinians. Antony Loewenstein, journalist and author of The Palestine Laboratory: How Israel Exports the Technology of Occupation Around the World, joins The Chris Hedges Report for a deep dive into the disturbing links between Israeli Apartheid, the arms industry, and global repression of civilian populations.

🇵🇸Lavender’: The AI machine directing Israel’s bombing spree in Gaza | 972 Mag

A new investigation by +972 Magazine and Local Call reveals that the Israeli army has developed an artificial intelligence-based program known as “Lavender,” unveiled here for the first time. According to six Israeli intelligence officers, who have all served in the army during the current war on the Gaza Strip and had first-hand involvement with the use of AI to generate targets for assassination, Lavender has played a central role in the unprecedented bombing of Palestinians, especially during the early stages of the war. In fact, according to the sources, its influence on the military’s operations was such that they essentially treated the outputs of the AI machine “as if it were a human decision.”

🇵🇸 Israel's high tech killing machine, with Antony Loewenstein

Israel is using AI – artificial intelligence – to compile kill lists that define almost anyone in Gaza as a “Hamas operative” to be targeted for death from the sky. Israel uses these AI systems to justify its indiscriminate bombing, often destroying entire buildings on top of their inhabitants.

What do these horrifying systems mean for accountability for genocide and war crimes and have they led to any kind of “success” from Israel’s perspective?

We were joined by independent investigative journalist Antony Loewenstein to talk about Israel’s high-tech genocide and the profits it makes marketing its machinery of death globally.

Antony’s most recent book, published last year, is The Palestine Laboratory: How Israel Exports The Technology Of Occupation Around The World.

🇵🇸 Shirion Collective: The Secret AI-Surveillance Network Targeting Pro-Palestinian Protesters

Daniel Linden, a tech entrepreneur from Florida, is a key figure behind the Shirion Collective, a pro-Israel #DisinformationNetwork targeting pro-Palestinian activists in the US, UK, and Australia. Shirion harasses activists, offers bounties for identifying protesters, spreads conspiracy theories, and claims to use #AI for #surveillance. Linden, who also co-authored an OnlyFans guidebook, has been linked to various dubious ventures and operates Shirion’s social media and crowdfunding efforts. Despite Shirion’s claims of advanced technology and influential connections, its true capabilities and intentions remain shrouded in mystery

Shirion runs a private Telegram channel that currently has 885 members. The channel is further separated into rooms for discussing events in certain territories (e.g., Canada and Latin America) or for coordinating online activity, such as mass reporting of accounts.
