Tech Wars: How AI Shapes the Conflict between Israel, Hezbollah and Hamas (1)

By Elijah J. Magnier

Hezbollah has long been aware of Israel’s military advancements, particularly the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) against its adversaries in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and other regions. Modern warfare increasingly relies on technological innovations, allowing for new combat techniques that seemed like science fiction a few decades ago. To succeed in combat, it is essential to maintain ambiguous intentions, strike the enemy unexpectedly, and disable their electronics and surveillance equipment as much as possible before attacks.

Israel has established intelligence units continually updated with the latest AI technology to enhance its fight against its enemies. Initially unprepared for encounters with Israel’s advanced warfare, Hezbollah managed to adapt, reduce its casualties, and establish a balanced deterrence against Israel’s technological and AI reliance.

Since October 7, 2023, Hezbollah and Palestinian resistance forces have faced Israeli AI on the ground, experiencing its impact at a high human cost. This forced them to adapt and develop countermeasures. Hezbollah achieved a relative adaptation after eight months of daily engagements with Israel’s AI.
