Israel has successfully eliminated several militant leaders in the ongoing Middle Eastern conflict using advanced intelligence. By tracking and neutralizing targets across Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, and other regions, Israel has leveraged artificial intelligence (AI) and computing technology, reportedly provided by major U.S. tech companies. These AI-driven "Track and Kill" operations have significantly enhanced military precision. However, concerns are rising over civilian casualties caused by such AI-assisted strikes, as AI technology was never originally designed to determine life-and-death decisions in warfare.

For the first time, AI has been used in active combat, according to AI experts. Microsoft has had long-standing ties with the Israeli military, along with other tech firms. Following the Hamas attacks, reliance on tech companies has increased, leading to a surge in AI-powered military operations. Microsoft's AI usage has reportedly grown 200 times, with military data storage reaching 13.6 petabytes—350 times larger than the digital collection of the U.S. Library of Congress. While Microsoft refused to comment, OpenAI clarified that it does not support weapons manufacturing but has adjusted its policies to allow AI usage in national security operations.

Israel has integrated AI into surveillance systems, tracking enemy movements, intercepting communications, and analyzing threats. Project Nimbus, a $1.2 billion AI initiative, plays a crucial role in these operations. While AI has enhanced targeting accuracy, research suggests that misinterpretations and data errors have sometimes resulted in civilian casualties. Despite the risks, Israel sees AI as a game-changer in its fight against Hamas, leveraging AI-powered intelligence to identify and eliminate threats with unprecedented speed and efficiency.
