Israel has already been doing this in Gaza, but with airstrikes. Giving a robot the ability to pull the trigger is barely different to air-striking buildings based on statistical modelling the likelihood that terrorists are inside as your only form of “intelligence” — especially when you don’t care about civilian casualties and have already proven to shoot first and not even bother asking questions later.
I don’t think bombing your entire probability space counts as statistical modeling. They’re just layering their carpet bombing campaign with vaporware propaganda. They’re using bombs that can level whole blocks in densely populated areas.
