It is because the CIA is not using AI to create strike target lists.

How are you so sure?

You'd rather Israel doesn't have the technology to target terrorists with precision, and instead will be forced to use crude methods to carpet-bomb large areas where they hide?

      Hamas did not kill 1200 civilians on October 7. There were ~1200 victims total in the attack. There were 274 soldiers, and 95 police or other security officers, and 764 civilians [0]. At least a few of the civilians were not killed by Hamas directly, but by IDF firing on Hamas terrorists holding them hostage [1]. Of course, each and every one of these victims is a tragedy. There are also an additional few hundred people taken hostage, another war crime by Hamas. I don't intend to minimize the hurt or excuse the terrorists. But just as much, every civilian being killed in Gaza is a tragedy and inexcusable. And there are many times more civilians killed in Gaza, even by the most conservative estimates, than the victims in Israel. Also, while the 30+k victims in Gaza (which also include Hamas soldiers) are indeed coming from Hamas itself, there are no better numbers. The Israeli media and even official sources sometimes quote these numbers, and all external organizations that have looked into them consider them credible. Not to mention, these are only those confirmed dead, each of them identified specifically (the Hamas Palestinian Health Ministry is publishing a list of the exact names of every victim, and not including unidentified dead or those who are missing in the numbers). Israel has not published any list or even estimate of the casualties, except their claims for Hamas soldiers killed.

        Hamas Ministry of Health officials changed their numbers and brought it down to 22k. so if 13K of these are Hamas terrorists(according to IDF), it means 9K civilians dead. Probably half from failed Hamas rocket launches that were raining down on Gaza civilians at the beginning of the war. These are very low numbers for urban combat as we see in Gaza.

        Don't you think it's strange that every civilian that dies is either a woman or a child? According to Israels numbers they have never killed an innocent man, only women and children get in the way while killing the resistance fighters.
