The IDF does not use AI systems that choose targets for attack. Any other claim shows lack of sufficient knowledge of IDF processes. 1/5
The Guardian article refers to a mere database that cross checks existing information on operatives in terrorist organizations, similar to those used in other militaries. It is not a list of operatives eligible for attack. 2/5
This database is designed to aid human analysis, not to replace it. IDF directives require all intelligence analysts to conduct independent analysis in the target designation process, while implementing IDF directives and international law. 3/5
The IDF targeting process is an additional, separate process, which requires independent decision-making by commanders on whether to attack the target, every intelligence target requires the approval of an intelligence officer and a field commander. 4/5
Many claims made in the media are sensational, factually inaccurate, or utterly false. 5/5
