Inside the attack cells: After the lies of 'NZA' - the people responsible for the attacks speak | Exclusive
Our military correspondent Yinon Shalom Yitah spoke with senior pilots who sat in attack cells, following the controversy over the film 'NZA'. They describe a meticulous target classification process that includes verification stages, munitions planning, and statistical damage calculation. It is claimed that AI systems are not integrated into the process, and the 'roof knock' mechanism is still in use. Data shows that over 60% of requests for deviation from procedures were not approved.
Following the controversy over the film 'NZA', which claims extreme rules of engagement in the IDF, our military correspondent Yinon Shalom Yitah spoke with senior pilots who sat in attack cells. They present a completely different picture: a meticulous target classification process that includes verifying the target is military, planning the type of munitions and timing, and calculating statistical collateral damage. Brig. Gen. (res.) Yaron Rosen, former head of the Air Division, emphasizes that 'assessing collateral damage does not indicate harm to civilians, but rather an enormous effort to avoid it.' The article further claims that artificial intelligence systems are not integrated into the classification process or the calculation of collateral damage, contrary to what is alleged in the film. The 'roof knock' mechanism is still used to warn civilians. Data reveals that over 60% of targets brought to the Chief of Staff's decision for deviation from procedures were not approved in the last three years. Security officials strongly reject the procedures attributed to the IDF in the film, citing the Al-Ahli Hospital incident as an example of a false claim that was debunked.
