Israel's operation against Hamas was the world's first artificial intelligence war.

The Israel Defense Force (IDF) used artificial intelligence and supercomputing during the recent conflict with Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli military relied heavily on machine learning.  The military calls the operation "Guardian of the Walls" the first artificial-intelligence war (Jerusalem Post).

“For the first time, artificial intelligence was a key component and power multiplier in fighting the enemy,” an IDF Intelligence Corps senior officer said. “This is a first-of-its-kind campaign for the IDF. We implemented new methods of operation and used technological developments that were a force multiplier for the entire IDF.”
