This transition marks a significant change in military strategy, moving from ground-based operations to long-range technologies in the sky.<\/p>\n<p>The extensive and low-altitude flights of Israeli reconnaissance drones over Beirut, the southern suburbs, and routes leading to the Beqaa Valley and southern Lebanon are not merely perceived as violations of sovereignty. Analysts view these activities as part of a live feed process for artificial intelligence systems, aimed at creating an up-to-date &#8216;target bank&#8217; ready for attack. This shift is considered a response to the Israeli army&#8217;s operational failures in recent ground engagements.Reports from media outlets such as Yedioth Ahronoth indicate that elite units of the Israeli army have faced serious difficulties in recent ground battles. Retired General Yitzhak Brick has criticized the erosion of infantry capabilities and the excessive reliance on air power, leading to increased dependence on technological tools and remote operations.<\/p>\n<p>According to Haaretz, drones are no longer just imaging tools; they act as &#8216;flying servers&#8217; that transmit field data to artificial intelligence systems. These systems, by combining 3D images, traffic data, and telecommunications information, identify potential targets and convert them into &#8216;prepared attack files.&#8217; This process raises the risk of misidentification between civilian activities and military movements in densely populated urban areas.Simultaneously, research centers, including the Israeli Institute for National Security Studies (INSS), have highlighted the importance of economic and infrastructural pressure as part of a strategy to influence the social environment in Lebanon. Monitoring service cycles, transport routes, and financial activities can lead to the formation of an &#8216;economic target bank.&#8217; It is noteworthy that in the Israeli military doctrine, completing the target bank and reducing the time gap between identification and attack is considered a key indicator of operational readiness.<\/p>\n<p>Political analysts believe that the increase in reconnaissance flights, alongside heightened readiness levels, may signal an effort to shorten the &#8216;targeting cycle&#8217; in Lebanon. Field comparisons show that during the 33-day war in 2006, Israeli forces advanced 10 to 15 kilometers into Lebanese territory, whereas in the 2024 conflicts, incursions have been limited to one to three kilometers, often accompanied by retreats.Observers note that the skies over Lebanon have now become a battleground for information and technology reflecting the Israeli army&#8217;s increasing reliance on technology in the face of limitations in ground operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recent conflicts reveal that the Israeli army faces significant challenges in advancing on Lebanese soil, prompting a shift towards aerial surveillance and advanced technologies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":614,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[64],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22577","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-palestine"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22577","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/users\/614"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22577"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22577\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22577"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22577"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
