The IDF is accused of using an AI system named 'Lavender' to identify potential Hamas targets in Gaza, implicating up to 37,000 Palestinians.

The use of advanced AI in military operations is sparking debate over the legal and ethical implications of machine-led warfare.

Israel refutes the claims about Lavender, describing it as a database for intelligence cross-referencing, not a tool for target identification.

AI's role in warfare is associated with increased collateral damage and the potential to diminish moral responsibility among human operators.

Despite international efforts to regulate AI use in combat, Israel has not joined the initiative to set ethical standards for autonomous weapons.

The discussion on AI in military contexts is underscored by concerns over Israeli military tactics, including incidents leading to the deaths of foreign aid workers and journalists.
