[cont’d] IDF’s formal response to an earlier inquiry by Sikha Mekomit (Local Call) regarding an automated targeting system called “The Gospel system”, which seems be the same system calle “Lavender” in the final report.

[…] “It’s been clear that Israel has been using AI to have what they call ‘power targets’ so they are using it intentionally — as opposed to what it’s supposed to be, which is helping with precision — to target civilians,” said Nancy Okail, president of progressive foreign policy think tank the Center for International Policy. She said the IDF appears to be allowing for a broad definition of these “power targets” — which the military’s intelligence branch defines as “ targets with security or perception significance to Hamas or the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.”
