Israelis Must Finally Confront What Israel Has Done in Gaza

For three years, since the war broke out, Yuval Abraham, a director and documentary filmmaker, has been publishing investigations on the Local Call and +972 news sites regarding how the Israel Defense Forces chooses targets in Gaza. The target bank is built using extensive AI systems that generate tens of thousands of targets that are almost never subject to human review. This leads to widespread harm to civilians, defined as "collateral damage."
