Elbit Systems reports 850,000 targets identified by Israeli command system

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Elbit Systems, Israel's largest arms supplier, presented data indicating its Tzayad command and control system identified approximately 850,000 "real-time intel targets" in Gaza and Lebanon between October 2023 and the end of 2025. This figure, presented by an Elbit executive at a military conference, has raised concerns among former US Pentagon officials regarding the potential for civilian harm, given the scale of the numbers relative to Gaza's population and infrastructure. Elbit Systems later clarified that the figure represents aggregated system activity and operational data rather than distinct enemy targets or actual strikes. AI

IMPACT Raises concerns about the scale of AI-assisted targeting and its implications for civilian populations in conflict zones.
