Israeli military used artificial intelligence-guided drone swarms to locate and eliminated terrorist targets during the recent Gaza conflict. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) deployed “flocks of drones” that were capable of communicating with each other to spot and destroy Hamas rocket launch sites, Israeli media reported on Saturday.
The IDF deployed artificial intelligence as Gaza-based terrorists groups fired rockets in massive barrages comprising of hundred of rockets , a strategy aimed a overwhelming the Iron Dome missile defense system. The Palestinian terrorists fired rockets placed deep within the Gaza’s civilian population, often using schools and housing blocks as launch sites.
The AI-based drone technology was apparently one of the reasons why the IDF was so successful in pinpointing its strike against Hamas and allied Palestinian terrorist groups, and avoid civilian casualties during the 11-day conflict in May — a fact even acknowledged by Israel’s usual detractors. Gaza head of the United Nations “refugee” agency (UNRWA), Matthias Schmale, admitted that Israeli strikes were “precise” and “sophisticated.”
This is probably the first time such a technology has been used in a combat situation, media reports suggested. The IDF kept the details of the operation classified during the fighting, but has since released the information.
The Times of Israel reported the used of smart drone technology: The world saw a taste of that emerging military technology [i.e., drones guided by artificial intelligence], albeit a limited one, in May during the 11-day conflict between Israel and terror groups in Gaza, when the Israel Defense Forces used flocks of drones over the Strip to spot rocket launches by Hamas and attack those sites in what appears to be one of the first significant, publicly acknowledged real-world use of the concept. The military’s use of drones in this way was initially kept classified during the fighting, but has since been permitted to be published in part. (…) In a bid to prevent these attacks, the military worked to develop new methods of locating launchpads, which Hamas and Islamic Jihad had buried and hidden throughout the Gaza Strip, in schoolyards, home gardens and otherwise deep within civilian areas. For the […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
