The Israeli military has faced allegations regarding the use of artificial intelligence in its operations within Gaza and the West Bank. A documentary film titled ‘Nasa’ presented claims from anonymous military and intelligence personnel that AI systems analyze mobile data to identify targets, potentially leading to strikes in civilian areas. The Israeli military rejected these claims, asserting that human operators are responsible for target selection and that operations comply with international law.

In the West Bank, reports have emerged concerning the use of an AI tool called ImiSight, developed by Rafael, to monitor landscape changes. Activists and researchers claim this technology is used to identify unauthorized structures to justify home demolitions and facilitate displacement. This follows a report by the human rights organization B’Tselem, which alleged a systematic political strategy to displace Palestinian populations, claiming that tens of thousands of Palestinians have been displaced from refugee camps and numerous communities have been dissolved.
