Fact or fiction? Israeli maps and AI do not save Palestinian lives

On December 2, the Israeli army's Arabic-language spokesperson Avichay Adraee posted a map of Gaza, broken up into a grid of numbered blocks with instructions that Palestinians living in certain areas evacuate to Rafah. Leaflets containing a QR code linking to the map on the Israeli army's website were also dropped over Gaza. This move came as Israeli fighter jets bombarded the south of the Strip – previously designated as a "safe zone" – killing hundreds of Palestinians in 24 hours. The Israeli army proudly announced that it had hit "400 targets". Meanwhile, media reports revealed that the Israeli army's ability to intensify what it calls "precision" air strikes has been boosted by an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that generates "targets".
