‘Lavender’: The AI machine directing Israel’s bombing spree in Gaza
+972 Magazine ^ | 4/3/24 | Yuval Abraham

In 2021, a book titled “The Human-Machine Team: How to Create Synergy Between Human and Artificial Intelligence That Will Revolutionize Our World” was released in English under the pen name “Brigadier General Y.S.” In it, the author — a man who we confirmed to be the current commander of the elite Israeli intelligence unit 8200 — makes the case for designing a special machine that could rapidly process massive amounts of data to generate thousands of potential “targets” for military strikes in the heat of a war. Such technology, he writes, would resolve what he described as a “human bottleneck for both locating the new targets and decision-making to approve the targets.”

Such a machine, it turns out, actually exists. A new investigation by +972 Magazine and Local Call reveals that the Israeli army has developed an artificial intelligence-based program known as “Lavender,” unveiled here for the first time. According to six Israeli intelligence officers, who have all served in the army during the current war on the Gaza Strip and had first-hand involvement with the use of AI to generate targets for assassination, Lavender has played a central role in the unprecedented bombing of Palestinians, especially during the early stages of the war. In fact, according to the sources, its influence on the military’s operations was such that they essentially treated the outputs of the AI machine “as if it were a human decision.”

Can anyone doubt that U.S. Intelligence has such a system designed for domestic purposes? It’s much too hard to have Intelligience spooks tracking and targeting the Constitutional type riff raff we see here on FR.

40,000 or so bombs dropped in an area approximately the size of Las Vegas is a lot.

You’ve got that right! The bombing spree has destroyed nearly all churches, hospitals, schools, mosques, infrastructure, homes and 30,000 civilians, everything that makes an area habitable. It’s called ethnic cleansing. But you can’t blame the Israelis. The machine did it!

There are, what, three churches in Gaza ?

The Gaza Baptist, which closed in 2007 due to Muslim violence.

St Porphyriius, which got a minor hit because Muslims had taken it over and used it to launch missiles

Holy family church, with its 133 members, has been overrun by Muslims, and they used it shoot a RPG at the IDF, so there was gunfire exchanged.

They have AI programs to drop bombs on civilians but rely on teenage girls in remote outposts to provide warning of Hamas attacks...got it.

Excellent article on the use of AI in this war. I wish it wasn’t published, because the effectiveness of AI killing involving collateral stats will further inflame arab sentiments against Israel. But it is about time that Israel kills those Hamas animals with speed and vengeance.

“The machine did it!”

No, Hamas did it by starting a war, murdering over a thousand Israelis, committing mass rape, and kidnapping people for ransom.
