Israel has intensified its use of explosive-laden robots in civilian areas across northern Gaza, with the machiens causing mass destruction and even deaths.
Israel’s military has intensified its use of explosive-laden robots in northern Gaza, causing widespread destruction, fear and civilian deaths, according to a report on Sunday by The New Arab’s Arabic-language sister outlet, Al-Araby Al-Jadeed.
The devices, often modified M113 armoured vehicles carrying around five tonnes of explosives, have been deployed particularly in the towns of Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahia. Over the course of one week, five were detonated in Beit Lahia alone.
Unlike conventional strikes, these robots are remotely operated and can remain stationary for hours or days in front of homes, hospitals or residential blocks, creating prolonged periods of dread. Witnesses told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that the explosions often result in devastation greater than typical airstrikes, destroying entire buildings and sending debris flying hundreds of metres.
