The Israeli government has approved the use of Starlink satellite services in a field hospital in the war-battered Gaza Strip, and in Israel for the first time.

It is our hope to help both the people of Israel and, with all due care, innocent civilians in Gaza.

This approval by @Israel is greatly appreciated.

In such a terrible situation, we should strive for conspicuous acts of kindness whenever possible.

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 14, 2024

“The Israeli security authorities approved the provision of Starlink services at the UAE’s field hospital operating in Rafah,” the Communications Ministry said in a statement.

“Starlink low-latency, high-speed connections will enable video conferencing with other hospitals and real-time remote diagnostics,” it said.

The Communications Ministry also said that Starlink will be enabled in Israel for the first time.

Musk’s Starlink to stay active in Ukraine

“The use of the company’s services will be limited at first with broader use expected in the future.”

Musk said in a posting on his social media platform X that he greatly appreciated Israel’s move.

More than 28,000 people have been killed and 68,000 injured in Gaza during Israel’s military campaign against the militant group Hamas.

Anthropic’s Claude AI now manages coding tasks, boosting productivity by 50% as engineers shift to oversight roles.

Anthropic has confirmed that its AI, Claude, now handles almost all coding tasks at the company. Engineers are shifting from writing code to oversight and planning, marking a major change in how software development teams operate.

Users report a productivity boost of 50 percent since implementing Claude, highlighting the potential of AI to reshape workflows and day-to-day operations. The shift raises questions about the balance between human oversight and automated code generation.

The move has also affected markets, with shares of Indian IT services companies falling as investors assess the impact on traditional tech roles. Industry leaders stress that while AI can generate code, human input remains crucial for design, review, and strategic decision-making.
