Israel has deployed artificial intelligence tools to accelerate forced evictions and automate home demolitions across the occupied West Bank, according to Al Jazeera English. The technology systematizes the targeting and removal of Palestinian structures in territories under Israeli control, streamlining a process that has long displaced residents from their land.
The use of AI in demolition operations represents an expansion of Israel's enforcement mechanisms in occupied Palestinian areas, enabling authorities to identify and destroy homes at scale with less manual coordination.
