      TLDR; direct from the article:

      Israel has been integrating AI into the military for several years, using the technology to process surveillance footage.

      IDF claims

      “If anything, these tools have minimized collateral damage and raised the accuracy of the human-led process.”

      So, take it with a grain of salt.

        Here’s more info on the AI that Israel uses.

        According to intelligence sources, Habsora generates, among other things, automatic recommendations for attacking private residences where people suspected of being Hamas or Islamic Jihad operatives live. Israel then carries out large-scale assassination operations through the heavy shelling of these residential homes.

        For example, sources explained that the Lavender machine sometimes mistakenly flagged individuals who had communication patterns similar to known Hamas or PIJ operatives — including police and civil defense workers, militants’ relatives, residents who happened to have a name and nickname identical to that of an operative, and Gazans who used a device that once belonged to a Hamas operative

        AI system known as “Where’s Daddy?” tracked Palestinians on the kill list and was purposely designed to help Israel target individuals when they were at home at night with their families. The targeting systems, combined with an “extremely permissive” bombing policy in the Israeli military, led to “entire Palestinian families being wiped out inside their houses,” says Yuval Abraham, an Israeli journalist who broke the story after speaking with members of the Israeli military who were “shocked by committing atrocities.”

            They very accurately targeted anything and everything in Gaza

          It’s absolutely intentional. There is no collateral damage because it’s all intentional damage.
