Israel’s Habsora AI system using machine learning algorithms to pick bombing targets and precalculate likely civilian deaths.

Last week, reports emerged that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are using an artificial intelligence (AI) system called Habsora (Hebrew for “The Gospel”) to select targets in the war on Hamas in Gaza. The system has reportedly been used to find more targets for bombing, to link locations to Hamas operatives and to estimate likely numbers of civilian deaths in advance.What does it mean for AI targeting systems like this to be used in conflict? My research into the social, political and ethical implications of military use of remote and autonomous systems shows AI is already altering the character of war.

T. Belman.  US policy is to force Israel to offer territorial concessions to Hezbollah to avoid war between Israel and Hezbollah.

With regard to Lebanon, U.S.-Israel relations are on a collision course.

Iran’s militia groups have initiated more than 82 attacks — just since October 17 — on US forces and assets in Syria and Iraq. The latest, on the US Embassy in Baghdad, is an attack on US sovereign territory. During Biden’s presidency, Iran has initiated 151 attacks against the US. Forty-six US service members have so far been wounded, 19 seriously, with traumatic brain injury.

These strikes do not include Iran’s having largely funded and helped plan a savage invasion of Israel by an estimated 3,000 Gazans under the direction of Iran’s proxy, the terrorist group Hamas, on October 7. Once there, they murdered 1,200 people; raped and tortured an untold number, and kidnapped around 240, about 100 of whom — women and children — have been released. Several hostages have reportedly been murdered (here, here and here).

“ACCORDING TO an article in the magazine Foreign Affairs there supposedly exists an understanding between Washington and Tehran on the Iranian nuclear program, …. the US would bring all its weight to bear on promoting the case of the Palestinian state before its other goals and not, as before, on normalization between Israel and Saudi Arabia.”

By Zalman Shoval, JPOST

[…]

As Israel perseveres with its military efforts, the question has already arisen, and now more forcefully, how it views the military-political situation once the war is over. The clear objective outlined by the war cabinet is the dismantling of Hamastan, and Israel, hopefully with the full support of the US, will not deviate from that aim, among other things, ascertaining that in any scenario, security in Gaza will remain under Israeli control, an imperative which could require setting up a temporary military administration in the Gaza Strip (though not a permanent one).

Sources tell Arab media Cairo pressing West, Arab countries to allow Gazans to move to various destinations via the Rafah crossing amid ongoing war

By Lior Ben Ari, YNET NEWS

Despite Egypt’s continuous and public opposition to Gazans entering its territory following Israel’s war against Hamas, Cairo is preparing for the possibility such a scenario would happen against its will.

Arab newspaper Al-Akhbar quoted sources on Saturday claiming that Egypt is exploring ways to deal with the Palestinian migration that may begin in early 2024. One option the country is looking into is the possibility that other countries will agree to host the Gazans who’ll be allowed to leave via the Rafah border crossing.

Imagine if you were the parent. She was obviously sodomised and battered.

There are 17 young females still being held hostage. One of them is my girl, Naama. And time is running out.

By AYELET LEVY SHACHAR

Naama Levy, 19, was captured on October 7 and last seen in a video released by Hamas.

You have seen the video of my daughter Naama Levy. Everyone has. You have seen her dragged by her long brown hair from the back of a Jeep at gunpoint, somewhere in Gaza, her gray sweatpants covered in blood. You may have perhaps noticed that her ankles are cut, that she’s barefoot and limping. She is seriously injured. She is frightened. And I, her mother, am helpless in these moments of horror.

PLEASE DONATE TO SHURAT HADIN

For far too long, Zionism has been stuck in a defensive mode.

Come gather ’round people

Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You’ll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth savin’
Then you better start swimmin’ or you’ll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin’

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has allegedly told President Biden that his country will act militarily against Yemen’s Houthi movement if the United States fails to do so, according to a report by Israeli publication N12News. 

The Iran-aligned group has been harassing Israeli and U.S. forces in the Middle East since the start of Israel’s war with Hamas.

N12News posted on X Saturday that Tzachi Hanegbi, Israel’s national security chief of staff, told journalists Amit Segal and Ben Caspit about its intention to respond to the group that has attacked and seized several Israeli-linked ships in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab strait, a sea lane through which much of the world’s oil is shipped.

Shockingly, the presidents of Harvard, Penn and MIT do not know that the First Amendment does not protect antisemitic hate speech or support for terrorism.Op-ed.

By Nathan Lewin, INN  7 December 2023

Nathan Lewin, J.D., is a Washington, D.C., attorney with a Supreme Court practice who has taught at leading national law schools including Harvard, Columbia, Georgetown and the University of Chicago.

(JNS) In the wake of the astounding testimony before Congress by the presidents of Harvard, Penn and MIT, three important questions must be asked:

1) Why are the presidents of leading American universities abysmally ignorant of Supreme Court rulings on the limits of protected speech under the First Amendment?

Three Lebanese army troops were injured and one was killed by IDF fire on December 5, 2023, in the Tel Aweida area of southern Lebanon, west of Kafr Kila and south of Deir Mimas. The event occurred in a location where Hezbollah conducts military action and classifies it as a military zone. From this area, Hezbollah launches mortars and rockets and conducts observations towards Israel. Hezbollah activity in this area was targeted around two months ago, on October 15. A Lebanese Army Forces (LAF) base is located near Hezbollah’s operating area. The IDF outpost “Galgalit” operated there until May 2000.
