Over 50,000 Palestinians Killed Amid Israeli Airstrikes

The ongoing conflict in Gaza has led to significant casualties among journalists, with recent investigations revealing that Israeli airstrikes have targeted those using drones to document the destruction, resulting in deaths and injuries among the press. A coalition of over 50 journalists, organized by Forbidden Stories, is investigating these claims, highlighting the dangers faced by reporters in the region. Meanwhile, political dynamics in Israel, particularly the role of far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, demonstrate a willingness to continue military aggression against Palestinians for political survival, complicating ceasefire negotiations. Additionally, the Israeli military's reliance on commercial AI technology from U.S. companies has dramatically increased since the onset of hostilities, raising concerns about the accuracy and ethics of target selection in warfare. The use of faulty data has reportedly contributed to high civilian casualties, with estimates of over 50,000 deaths in Gaza and Lebanon. The situation is further complicated by the geopolitical implications of U.S. support for Israel, which continues despite widespread international criticism.
