Israel plans to use remote-controlled bomb robots on civilians in Gaza

The Israeli military is using a new type of weapon in Gaza. These explosive-laden, remote-controlled vehicles are not just bombs but are designed to be driven into urban areas and detonated remotely, causing massive destruction.
The primary goal of these robotic bombs is to destroy infrastructure and instill fear.
The terror caused by these bombs is a deliberate tactic to force civilians to flee. However, the high cost of evacuation and the dangerous conditions make it difficult for many to leave, trapping them in a worsening humanitarian crisis.
The use of these bombs in densely populated areas is inherently indiscriminate.
This tactic marks a shift in how warfare is conducted, with the potential for increased civilian casualties and destruction. It raises serious concerns about adherence to international humanitarian law and the protection of civilian populations.

In a significant and alarming escalation of its ground offensive in Gaza, the Israeli military is reportedly preparing to deploy an unprecedented number of explosive-rigged, remote-controlled robotic vehicles into the heart of Gaza City. This tactic, described by observers as dystopian, is designed to cause massive, widespread destruction and instill terror among the hundreds of thousands of civilians still trapped in the area. According to reports from the Israeli outlet Walla, the military has massed a large number of decommissioned armoured personnel carriers (APCs) along the Gaza boundary. These outdated vehicles are not being used for transport but are instead being converted into what the military calls "suicide APCs," essentially, massive, remotely operated bombs on tracks. The process is brutally simple. An Israeli soldier, operating from a safe distance, drives the explosive-packed robot deep into Gaza's dense urban neighborhoods. Once positioned, the vehicle is detonated remotely, creating a colossal blast that reduces entire buildings to crushed rubble. The explosions are so powerful that they have been reported as "earth-shaking" by Palestinians on the ground and have even been heard as far away as central Israel.

A deadly tool for mass destruction and forced displacement

The primary impact of these robotic bombs is catastrophic structural damage. The Gaza-based Government Media Office estimates that at least 100 of these devices were detonated in just a three-week period this summer. According to reports from the nonprofit Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor, these explosions are now destroying approximately 300 residential units every single day, suggesting a strategic objective to methodically erase vast swathes of the city. Beyond the physical destruction, the psychological effect is a core part of their use. The sudden, immense detonations at all hours, often reported in the pre-dawn darkness, cause widespread terror, particularly among children. For families already living under constant threat of airstrikes, the ground-shaking arrival of a silent, unmanned bomb adds a new layer of horror to their existence. This terror is a direct tool for forced displacement. Israel has issued mass evacuation orders for Gaza City, but for many, leaving is impossible. The cost to rent a vehicle for the dangerous journey south has reportedly skyrocketed to around $600, a sum far beyond the means of most in the war-ravaged strip. Furthermore, those who try to leave describe roads packed with vehicles and donkey carts, creating deadly bottlenecks where people wait for days for a chance to escape. The robotic bombs, therefore, serve as a brutal form of pressure, terrorizing those who cannot afford to flee into finally abandoning their homes.

A clear and present danger to civilians

The deployment of these devices in one of the most densely populated urban areas in the world poses an extreme and obvious threat to civilian life. By driving large bombs into neighborhoods where families are sheltering, the tactic is inherently indiscriminate. The blasts are not precision weapons; they are area-effect devices designed to annihilate everything in their vicinity. Eyewitnesses on the ground have described the robots as "far more devastating than air strikes." Their use represents a grim evolution in urban warfare, where a military can now deliver massive explosive payloads without risking its own personnel, thereby lowering the threshold for using overwhelming force in civilian areas.

Reports indicate the tactic was developed after the 2014 Gaza war and has been used throughout the current conflict. Israeli media frames it as a way to "clear roads, demolish buildings and destroy enemy infrastructure without exposing forces to direct threats." However, from the perspective of those in Gaza, it is seen as a weapon of chaos and mass demolition, barrel-bombing overcrowded neighborhoods from the ground up. As Israel's ground invasion intensifies, the sight of these robotic bombs and the accompanying fleet of heavy military engineering vehicles massed at the border signals a frightening new chapter. For the civilians remaining in Gaza City, it means the ground beneath their feet is no longer just threatened from the sky, but can now literally drive up to their doorsteps and explode, accelerating a humanitarian calamity with no safe end in sight. As explained by Brighteon.AI's Enoch, the repercussions of Israel deploying these advanced weapons extend beyond the immediate conflict, posing threats to international law, global health, environmental sustainability and humanitarian well-being. It underscores the urgent need for proactive measures to prevent the proliferation and use of such weapons in future conflicts.
