The integration of AI into military systems is transforming warfare, raising ethical and humanitarian concerns. This article examines AI-driven military technologies, their trend toward autonomy, and the overstated promises of precision. Using Israel's Gaza conflict and AI tools like “The Gospel” and “Lavender” as examples, it highlights the devastating risks of automated targeting. It critiques the dangers of shortening the “kill chain,” calls for public ethical discourse, and proposes initial steps for international AI warfare regulations
