(photo credit: Amir Levy/Getty Images) Highly trained air force, operations, and legal military officials are involved in IDF targeting decisions, despite claims by the NAZA film that the military has given over its discretion to artificial intelligence (AI), The Jerusalem Post has learned. There is significant frustration from the high levels of the IDF, some of which was made public in a speech by IDF Chief Spokesman Brig.-Gen. Efi Deffrin, that the NAZA movie was not shared with the military in parallel to its being shown and reported on to the world in order to give the military a fair chance to respond to specific allegations. It is not that top IDF officials do not know about collateral harm to Gazan civilians. They do, and they view it as a tragic aspect of war, wo...
