[69069] Israel in a technological pursuit of the October 7 terrorists; security tension and political storm

Reports on an AI campaign to eliminate the October 7 terrorists, along with an exchange of blows in Lebanon and a storm surrounding the conduct of Minister Ben-Gvir.

The pursuit of the October 7 terrorists: The Israeli AI system

According to reports in Hadashot MeHashtach and Rega Hadashot - Army and Security, the security establishment is conducting a sophisticated intelligence campaign based on artificial intelligence and facial recognition to locate and neutralize all those involved in the October 7 massacre, regardless of their rank in the terror organizations. The operation uses information from the terrorists' GoPro footage, security cameras, and interrogations, where according to the sources, "every terrorist for whom two pieces of evidence of participation in the massacre were found was marked as a target for elimination."

Fighting on the northern border and the combatant incident

The security situation in the north continues to escalate. In Hadashot MeHashtach it was reported that Staff Sergeant Sh., a combat soldier in the IDF Spokesperson's Operational Documentation Unit, was seriously wounded by an explosive drone strike in southern Lebanon. On the other hand, the channel Asrar Lubnan (Secrets of Lebanon), a channel that presents critical content about Hezbollah but provides a complex snapshot of the other side, claimed that the organization is taking advantage of drone strikes and IDF forces to create a "consciousness achievement." In Carmel News it was noted that Israel is improvising defense solutions against drones, such as the use of fishing nets and mannequins, while Hezbollah is deepening the use of technologies similar to those we saw in the Ukrainian arena.

Political storm surrounding Ben-Gvir and international implications

A video published by Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir sparked widespread outrage. In 12 Pinal 99 they leveled sharp criticism at the irreversible advocacy damage caused, and termed the event as one that harms Israel's credibility with the "gray" public in the West. In Hadashot BaZman it was reported that there is anger in the IDF and claims by officials in the system that the documentation was carried out with the approval of the Prison Commissioner, contrary to government policy. While opposition parties are criticizing the government's conduct, Hadashot 360 presents poll data according to which the coalition is losing ground and is not achieving a majority in the elections.

Geopolitical angle: Iran and the regional conflict

The Egyptian journalist Ibrahim Eissa analyzed in Hadassa Express the influence of Iran on the Middle East, and claimed that Tehran has caused "total destruction" to Arab countries that even Israel could not have, while turning Gaza and Syria into dismantled arenas. At the same time, in Hadashot Israel IL an American proposal for a nuclear solution with Iran was published, including lifting the blockade on the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for handing over uranium, while officials in Hadashot HaYom are skeptical of reports about a dispute between Trump and Netanyahu, and estimate that these are media spins before extensive military action.
