Assessing Artificial Intelligence’s Military Application in Urban War: A Study of the Israel Defense Forces Operations Since 2021

This thesis examines the integration of AI in urban military operations, with a specific focus on the Israel Defense Forces’ application of AI technologies in urban warfare. The study first defines urban settings to lay the groundwork for detecting peculiarities of urban settings in warfare, discusses theoretical perspectives on AI's potential to revolutionize warfare, and then moves into the actual employment of AI in urban combat by examining Israel Defense Forces operations since 2021. By analyzing how AI has been applied in the context of the urban operations, it seeks to understand AI's role in urban combat and its potential to shape future urban warfare dynamics.
