AI Summary:
\ Israeli military has been altering commercial drones to carry bombs and surveil people. According to Sanad, drones manufactured by DJI have been used to attack hospitals and civilian shelters. This is not the first time DJI drones have been modified and used by armies. Israeli campaign group Hamushim found evidence that Israeli military-trained operators were using DJI’s Matrice 600 model to drop tear gas on civilian protesters during the following year’s Great March of Return in Gaza. Despite their previous deployment by the Israeli military, their lethal use against civilians and protected targets in Gaza, as documented in this investigation, is unprecedented.
