NEW DELHI (Dispatches) – 
Zionist troops are using an AI weapons system in Gaza co-produced by an Indian defence company that turns machine guns and assault rifles into computerized killing machines, Middle East Eye can reveal.
According to documents and news reports seen by MEE, Zionist troops have been using the Arbel weapons system in Gaza following their devastating invasion of the enclave since last October.
Touted as a “revolutionary game changer that improves operator lethality and survivability,” the Arbel system enhances machine guns and assault weapons - such as the Israeli-produced Tavor, Carmel and Negev - into a weapon that uses algorithms to boost soldiers chances of hitting targets more accurately and efficiently.
The past 13 months has seen Zionist troops engage in a catalogue of massacres - from bombing schools and refugee camps and hospitals to conducting executions on the streets of Gaza.
More women and children have been killed by Israeli firepower than in any other conflict over the past 20 years while close to 1,000 entire families have been erased.
Conservative estimates put the total number of Palestinians killed at 44,000 but a letter to President Joe Biden from a group of almost 100 U.S. medics who had been to Gaza estimated a death toll of more than 118,000 in October. A letter in the UK medical journal The Lancet said the death toll could be more than 180,000.
Although defense analysts say the weapon system may not be as cutting-edge or as widely used as the “Lavender” or “The Gospel” AI weapons systems - that are reported to have played a huge role in the tremendous death toll in Gaza - Arbel appears to be the first weapons system to directly tie India to Israel’s rapidly expanding AI war in Gaza in what could have wide-ranging implications for other conflicts.
In September, a UN report said it was “deeply alarmed by the unprecedented destruction of civilian infrastructure and high death toll in Gaza, which raise serious concerns about the use by Israel of artificial intelligence in directing its military campaign”.
“Credible media reports indicate that the Israeli military lowered the criteria for selecting targets while increasing their previously accepted ratio of civilian to combatant casualties,” the report compiled by the Special Committee to Investigate Israeli Practices Affecting the Human Rights of the Palestinian People, said.
