About this episode
More than 60 days into the Israel-Gaza war, two Israeli news outlets - +972 magazine and Local Call - published a report on The Gospel, a new artificial intelligence system deployed in Gaza.

The AI helps generate new targets at an unprecedented rate, allowing the Israeli military to loosen its already permissive constraints on the killing of civilians.

On our radar:
The exchange of hostages between Israel and Hamas late last month created some challenges for the Netanyahu government - and its messaging. Producer Meenakshi Ravi looks at how Israeli media has been reporting on the story.

Mariam Barghouti: “The media is complicit in the Gaza war”:
As the world is focused on the events unfolding in Gaza, Israel has also escalated its attacks on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, where Hamas has no authority or military presence. Journalist Mariam Barghouti joins us to discuss the intensification of surveillance technologies, the clamp down on speech and the rise of violence in the West Bank.
