• Netanyahu claims “the Arab Parties” Stole the Election

  This is remarkable. Benjamin Netanyahu on Twitter:

  Likud: The elections in the State of Israel were stolen by Arab parties that support terrorism and the elimination of the Jewish state through serious criminal offenses of bribery, threats, violence, forgeries, and the use of prohibited software to mobilize voters.

  The Likud party is transferring to the police, the Shin Bet, and the Central Elections Committee hundreds of testimonies and pieces of evidence regarding election theft in many Arab polling stations — thousands of envelopes with cash and Ra’am slips, threats and violence against polling station members, multiple voting behind the curtain, voting with double identities, discrepancies between the number of envelopes and the number of voters, the use of prohibited mobilization software, and more.

  We demand from the police and the Shin Bet a thorough investigation into the election theft by the Arab parties and the full prosecution of the criminals. We demand from the Central Elections Committee an immediate response to investigate these criminal offenses that have severely damaged the integrity of the elections in Israel and the election results. This is a serious blow to Israeli democracy and the voting rights of Israeli citizens. The law enforcement agencies must act with an iron fist and in an immediate manner.

• Israel’s AI Howitzer

  War is horrible. The only thing that seems more horrible than war, to me, is war that isn’t even waged by humans, but by computers.

  Israel’s military has taken a step toward a more automated battlefield, deploying a new artillery system that uses artificial intelligence to compress the time between identifying a target and opening fire. The system, known as the Ro’em, was deployed by the IDF’s 282nd Artillery Regiment during operations in southern Lebanon, where it was used to strike Hezbollah rocket and anti-tank launch sites in support of ground forces.

  Where its predecessor, the US-made Doher, relied on manual processes and large crews, the new system operates with a level of automation that brings it closer to a semi-autonomous battlefield machine. At the center of that transformation is artificial intelligence. Unlike traditional artillery, where targeting, loading and firing are largely manual, the Ro’em compresses these steps into a largely automated sequence. Once a target is designated by an operator or commander, the system can independently load ammunition, calculate firing solutions, aim and fire with minimal human intervention. It is also integrated into broader military command-and-control networks, allowing it to receive targets directly from intelligence systems or operational headquarters.
