Tel Aviv University is running an “engineering war room” developing technology for the Israeli army including a live-streaming facility for a dog-mounted camera used by a canine unit linked to deadly attacks on Palestinian civilians in Gaza.

“Did you know that since the beginning of the war there is a war room operating on campus taking care of our fighters on the ground?” says the presenter of the video, who is identified as a graduate of the university.

The video noted that the highest proportion of serving soldiers had come from the faculty of engineering. It said that an “engineering war room” had also been established to “invent solutions for the challenges of our fighters on the front line”.

“We have developed a cheap and immediate solution that allows for the live streaming from the dog’s camera to soldiers on the ground - it didn’t exist until now,” says the video.
