Earlier this year, the Israeli military took defensive action against Hamas in what has been referred to as the first artificial intelligence (AI) war. There have been numerous confrontations between Israel and Hamas, a Palestinian militant group that has been in control of the Gaza Strip since 2007. According to an Israeli officer, this event marked AI’s large-scale debut in a military operation. The AI technology in question includes missiles that aim to defend against incoming rockets as well as a system that can identify targets and perform accurate strikes on them. Between May 10 and 21, Hamas fired over 4,000 rockets from the Gaza Strip into Israel. Upon identifying incoming rockets from Hamas, Israel’s AI- assisted missiles were able to intercept 90% of them before they could cause major damage. The AI recognized and accurately estimated the rockets’ trajectories and precisely targeted the vast majority that were headed toward areas of significant population. Rockets that would land in uninhabited areas were ignored to reduce costs—something that is necessary when the cost of each defensive missile exceeds US$50,000. Israel retaliated by conducting air strikes of its own, which also used AI. These attacks utilized a vast amount of data gathered from satellites, among other sources, to guide missiles with pinpoint accuracy. In addition to allowing for more effective air strikes, this use of AI was intended to reduce civilian casualties, supposedly making it more ethical.Israel has invested heavily in tech companies. It has been able to mobilize these companies and their expertise in various technological fields for a number of military projects. Exports of the resulting AI technology are an ambition of the Israeli government, and the country also aims to enter into collaborations with foreign companies. It may not be long before all wars are conducted using a formidable array of AI technology.

Should Cities Limit the Number of Tourists? Tourism brings significant economic benefits to many cities. It creates jobs, supports local businesses, and allows people from different cultures to learn from one another. However, as international travel becomes more affordable, some popular destinations have begun to experience “overtourism.” This has led to a debate about whether governments should place limits on the number of visitors. Those who support tourist limits argue that cities have a responsibility to protect their residents’ quality of life. In many destinations, housing prices have increased because apartments are being converted into short-term rentals for visitors. Crowded streets, long lines at public transportation stations, and increased noise can make daily life difficult for local people. Environmental damage is another concern. Large numbers of tourists produce more waste, consume more water, and place additional pressure on historical sites and natural attractions. On the other hand, critics believe that limiting tourism could harm the economy. Hotels, restaurants, transportation services, and souvenir shops often depend heavily on visitors. A sudden reduction in tourist numbers could lead to job losses and lower tax revenues. Furthermore, some argue that instead of restricting tourism, governments should invest in better infrastructure, improve public transportation, and encourage tourists to visit less crowded areas. A balanced approach may offer the best solution. Rather than imposing strict limits, cities could introduce reservation systems for popular attractions, promote off- season travel, and charge environmental fees that help fund conservation projects. At the same time, local communities should be involved in tourism planning to ensure that economic growth does not come at the expense of residents' well-being. Ultimately, tourism should benefit both visitors and local people. The challenge is not simply attracting more tourists but managing tourism in a way that is sustainable for future generations.
