'Lavender' and 'The Gospel' AI Systems Reportedly Used in Gaza Targeting Operations with Civilian Harm Allegations

The AI system known as "Lavender" was reportedly used by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to assist in identifying individuals in Gaza for targeting, while a related system, "The Gospel," was reportedly used to help select and prioritize physical strike targets. Investigations reportedly suggest that these systems operated with limited human review and may have contributed to strikes associated with high civilian casualties. The extent of automation with human oversight, as well as the accuracy of these targeting processes, reportedly remain subjects of dispute.
