We worked with an artificial intelligence system, ‘Lavendar.’ They developed technological capabilities to establish that they (Hamas operatives) exist and they’re present there, and they expanded it (the identification of wanted people) to include anyone that you could somehow say belonged to Hamas. What does belong to Hamas mean?AI-[generated] things plus a few verifications that it’s actually the person [in question]. A person that’s part of Hamas’ rocket array [belongs to] Hamas.Yes. You’re genuinely targeting someone from the military wing, [but] how significant is he really? There’s a question mark over that. Let’s say, even if he is a fighter, would you now take down twenty people for a fighter? I don’t know. [If] the person isn’t in a combat position, or say, a fighter is now fleeing to the south of the [Gaza] Strip, do I really need to go and kill him? Those are questions that are already delving into the realm of policy. It seemed strange to me. The stated objective, from a military-logic perspective, is that [we’re] going to kill all of Hamas’ fighters?Ideally. Like, there was this sort of dashboard showing how many people you’ve killed and they were always boasting [when they got to] “over 3,000.” That’s out of around 40,000 [Hamas operatives]. They really reiterated this, like, the notion that the enemy is finite.What does that mean?How many terrorists we’ve killed so far during the fighting. So within that [number] you also include those people (the low-ranking operatives). Ultimately,you take advantage of opportunities in real timeSo you have all kinds of things (computerized systems) that give you push [notifications] for all kinds of recommendations, [and] you choose.Who has the final word?The cell commander. What rank is that?It can be a Major or Lieutenant Colonel (res.).
