This represents the first documented case of a state-owned weapons manufacturer openly marketing products using footage of actual human casualties. The commodification of death for commercial gain by Rafael crosses a unprecedented ethical line, especially given the state ownership aspect. This fusion of military action, marketing, and government oversight creates a new paradigm in warfare commercialization.

📰 What Happened
Israeli state-owned weapons manufacturer Rafael has published promotional material featuring actual combat footage of their Spike Firefly drone system killing an unarmed person in Gaza. The marketing video, released in July 2025, shows the drone tracking and targeting an individual, marking the first known instance of a major weapons company using real-time combat deaths in commercial advertising. The footage was shared across Rafael's social media platforms.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The Rafael marketing campaign introduces three prophetically significant developments: 1) State-sanctioned commercialization of warfare casualties aligns with Revelation 18's merchants profiting from death, 2) The Spike Firefly drone's targeted killing capability demonstrates the precision control systems described in Revelation 13, 3) The merger of government, military industry, and marketing prefigures the beast system's total control over commerce and violence. This event shows how modern technology enables the prophesied normalization of death as a business commodity.
