Palestine’s Gaza Strip, thanks to the influence of Israel’s military, has functionally become an open-air prison where residents’ movements are heavily restricted and controlled. And now, to up the ante, Israel is sending killer robots to guard the border. The border between Gaza and Israel is guarded by thick walls, a naval blockade, drones, machine gun turrets, and armed soldiers. Now, the heavily-reinforced border is also patrolled by tank-like robots called Jaguars armed with 7.62-millimeter machine guns, according to the Daily Beast. The Jaguar has already been photographed at the border, where it’s expected to handle crowd dispersal and perhaps even shoot down armed combatants trying to enter or fire projectiles into Israel.
