Israel has deployed a mass facial recognition program in the Gaza Strip, creating a database of Palestinians without their knowledge or consent, The New York Times reports. The program, which was created after the October 7th attacks, uses technology from Google Photos as well as a custom tool built by the Tel Aviv-based company Corsight to identify people affiliated with Hamas.

This is all sorts of fucked up and wrong but lets face it... it's far from the worst thing happening in Gaza right now.

True, but:

1-It helps them find "terrorists" to blow up, and

2-This isn't going away. Even after this "war" ends what remains of Gaza will be perpetually under surveillance (more than they already are). Even if the war ends today, Gaza just became even more of an open-air concentration camp.

I would be amazed if Gaza still exists when this war is over.

Don't be silly. Of course it will. Some cleaning up, ethnic cleansing and rebuilding and there'll be Gaza Beach, Gaza Hills and many more high value neighborhoods for non-muslims to live in.
