A new investigation reveals that Israeli forces are using undisclosed surveillance methods to spy on Palestinian families in their homes. These methods are used to identify individuals flagged as Hamas members by the Israeli military's Lavender system, which then marks them for assassination or bombing in real time. The report highlights the invasive use of artificial intelligence by Israeli forces in its military offensives in Gaza, targeting tens of thousands of civilians.

The report has revealed that the Israeli military captured “real-time photos” of individuals in their homes to expedite the process of identifying those flagged by Lavender through “undisclosed methods”. While the specific technical details of how Israeli forces spied into Palestinian homes to obtain these real-time images were kept secret by the interviewed Israeli soldiers, the report indicates that the Israeli military typically utilises a combination of surveillance technologies, including drones and other sensors, to capture live imagery.
The investigation also details one instance of the use of the software in decision-making processes for airstrikes, where Israeli forces deployed it to assess whether to proceed with the bombing of 50 buildings in northern Gaza.
