# AI-driven military targeting in Gaza > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/ai-driven-military-targeting-in-gaza > Updated: 2026-09-30T01:53:03.000Z. Sources: 8. Developments: 2. Reports and investigative media have detailed the use of artificial intelligence by Israeli forces to facilitate military targeting in Gaza. Initial investigations into the ‘Lavender’ system described an AI-assisted process used to mark tens of thousands of Palestinians as suspected militants, a process characterized by intelligence sources as having scant human scrutiny and predetermined tolerances for civilian deaths. Subsequent reporting via the documentary film ‘Naza’ provided further technical specifics, including testimonies from twenty-four Israeli soldiers and intelligence officers. The film identified that the ‘Lavender’ platform was used to target between 60,000 and 70,000 mobile phone numbers. It also detailed a protocol known as ‘Where’s Daddy’, which alerted operators when a target returned to a residential building. The documentation suggests that benchmarks for acceptable collateral damage expanded during operations, with reported ratios reaching up to twenty non-combatants for every targeted militant. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-30: Naza documentary exposes AI-driven military targeting in Gaza The documentary ‘Naza’ reveals how Israeli military AI systems, including the ‘Lavender’ and ‘Where’s Daddy’ protocols, were used to target individuals in Gaza, often resulting in high civilian casualties. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/naza-documentary-exposes-ai-driven-military-targeting-in-gaza ### 2026-09-20: Israel’s Lavender AI system used for targeting in Gaza An investigation into Israel’s ‘Lavender’ AI system reveals it was used in Gaza to mark tens of thousands of Palestinians as potential targets for assassination with minimal human oversight. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/israels-lavender-ai-system-used-for-targeting-in-gaza --- Cite as: AI-driven military targeting in Gaza.
