These systems, named Lavender and Gospel, have played a central role in the IDF's targeting strategy, sparking debates about the ethical and legal implications of their deployment.
Reports have emerged claiming the use of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems by the Israeli military in its bombing campaign of Gaza. These systems, named Lavender and Gospel, have played a central role in the IDF's targeting strategy, sparking debates about the ethical and legal implications of their deployment.
Lavender, developed by Israel's elite intelligence division, Unit 8200, operates as an AI-powered database designed to identify potential targets linked to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). Lavender uses machine learning algorithms and processes vast amounts of data to pinpoint individuals deemed as "junior" militants within these armed groups.
According to reports by Israeli-Palestinian publication +972 Magazine and the Hebrew-language outlet Local Call, Lavender initially identified as many as 37,000 Palestinian men associated with Hamas or PIJ. The usage of AI to identify targets marks a significant change in how the Israeli intelligence apparatus, Mossad and Shin Bet, function - relying on more labour-intensive human decision-making.
