Israel’s exploding robots still terrorise Gaza neighbourhoods
Israeli forces have erased entire Gaza neighbourhoods by deploying remotely controlled explosives.

Exploding robots

The “robots” had become a common fear in northern Gaza since the Israeli army first used them on Jabalia refugee camp in May 2024.

Their deployment hit an “unprecedented pace” leading up to the October ceasefire, the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor noted in a report on September 1, adding that they were used to destroy “about 300 residential units daily in Gaza City and Jabalia”.

The robots are armoured carriers that Israeli soldiers would load with explosives, then drag into place using armoured bulldozers.

Once the soldiers had retreated, they would remotely detonate the booby-trapped vehicle, destroying everything around it.

Not much is known about the payload – or if it was ever consistent – Gaza City Civil Defence spokesman Mahmoud Basal told Al Jazeera.

However, their destructive capacity was apparent, Bassal said, describing the robots’ “kill radius” which he said extended as far as 500 metres (550 yards).
