Facial Recognition in Hebron
In Hebron, a city in the occupied West Bank, Israeli security forces and private companies have been testing facial recognition software to monitor Palestinians. Palestinian activist Isa Umrow stated that the cameras not only use facial recognition but also body and eye recognition. The cameras can provide detailed personal information about individuals before they even show their ID, creating a high level of surveillance in the area.
