Another lesson I hope becomes clear is that technology is NOT the solution to everything and if you rely on it to the exclusion of simply having people watching, infiltrating terrorist groups for intelligence, etc. you do so at your own peril. It became clear very early when Hamas simply destroyed Israel's communications ability and just bulldozed through a high tech fence.
Tech companies oversell the ability of their products. Things like A.I. and face recognition and court software that recommends sentencing all have serious flaws. A.I. just makes things up randomly for reasons no one yet understands. Face recognition misidentifies people and is also very easy to fool (and can be completely avoided simply by wearing a t-shirt that confuses the tech: https://www.wired.co.uk/article/facial-recognition-t-shirt-block). Court sentencing software is no replacement for D.A's, judges and even criminal law attorneys representing defendants. Even Israel's amazing "Iron Dome" defense technology is only 90% effective.
Eyes on the ground and people who know how to analyze and understand data are needed more than ever and can't just be replaced by technology.
