Terrorism is becoming more complex due to AI, younger recruits, and evolving warfare tactics, according to Assaf Moghadam, head of ICT. Technology lowers entry barriers, and radicalization now involves much younger individuals. Ideologies are converging, with groups like Hamas and Hezbollah adopting state-like military capabilities. Local conflicts are increasingly internationalized, often becoming proxy wars, as seen following the October 7 attacks.
