Remote Control Murder: Israel’s Modern Day Manson Girls
NAZARETH //
It is called Spot and Shoot. Operators sit in front of a TV monitor from
which they can control the action with a PlayStation-style joystick.
The aim: to kill.
Played by: young women serving in the Israeli army.
Spot and
Shoot, as it is called by the Israeli military, may look like a video
game but the figures on the screen are real people – Palestinians in
Gaza – who can be killed with the press of a button on the joystick.
The female
soldiers, located far away in an operations room, are responsible for
aiming and firing remote-controlled machine-guns mounted on watch-towers
every few hundred metres along an electronic fence that surrounds Gaza.
The system is
one of the latest “remote killing” devices developed by Israel’s Rafael
armaments company, the former weapons research division of the Israeli
army and now a separate governmental firm.
The demand
for such devices, the Israeli army admits, has been partly fuelled by a
combination of declining recruitment levels and a population less ready
to risk death in combat.
The Spot and
Shoot system – officially known as Sentry Tech – has mostly attracted
attention because it is operated by 19- and 20-year-old female soldiers,
making it the Israeli army’s only weapons system operated exclusively
by women.
Female
soldiers are preferred to operate remote killing devices because of a
shortage of male recruits to Israel’s combat units. Young women can carry out missions without breaking the social taboo of risking their lives, said Mr Brom.
The women are
supposed to identify anyone suspicious approaching the fence around
Gaza and, if authorised by an officer, execute them using their
joysticks.
The Israeli
army, which plans to introduce the technology along Israel’s other
confrontation lines, refuses to say how many Palestinians have been
killed by the remotely controlled machine-guns in Gaza. According to the
Israeli media, however, it is believed to be several dozen.
The system
was phased-in two years ago for surveillance, but operators were only
able to open fire with it more recently. The army admitted using Sentry
Tech in December to kill at least two Palestinians several hundred
metres inside the fence.
The Haaretz
newspaper, which was given rare access to a Sentry Tech control room,
quoted one soldier, Bar Keren, 20, last week saying: “It’s very alluring to be the one to do this.
But not everyone wants this job. It’s no simple matter to take up a
joystick like that of a Sony PlayStation and kill, but ultimately it’s
for defence.”
Audio sensors on the towers mean that the women hear the shot as it kills the target. No woman, Haaretz reported, had failed the task of shooting what the army calls an “incriminated” Palestinian.
The Israeli
military, which enforces an unmarked no-man’s land inside the fence that
reaches as deep as 300 metres into the tiny enclave, has been widely
criticised for opening fire on civilians entering the closed zone.
