Throughout the unprecedented bombing campaign that has defined Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, Palestinians there have lived with a near constant, inescapable sound of drones.
It’s a sound that signals death could be close.
Hind Hassan tracks how the Israeli military has dramatically increased its use of drones and artificial intelligence (AI) to surveil, track and kill Palestinians.
In Gaza, this technology has produced a kill rate higher than any other 21st-century conflict. But its implications are far greater – creating the potential for armies of the future to inflict maximum destruction on their targets with minimal risk to themselves.

There is a fallacy underlying the quoted-meaning, & an error…
Ukraine’s war is now drone-dominated, ttbomk ( I’m including land, sea, & air drones ), so the genociding of Palestinians isn’t the only drone-dominated war happening, ttbomk…
The fallacy, though, is that the wielder-of-the-weapons not being in the battlefield, somehow means that the country, or people of the wielders are not at risk:
The enemy can bomb one while one is wielding drones, why not?
The enemy can wield their-own drones against one, while one is wielding drones against them, why not?
Just because one isn’t at “the front” doesn’t mean that one is safe, when both sides are wielding drones.
Yes it does de-couple risk from fighting, for any aggressor, but de-coupling it doesn’t mean that opponent striking one somehow ceases to happen, it just converts it more into a tech-heavy cat-&-mouse game…
