The Israel Defense Forces has found a way to target Gaza Strip militants from kilometers away, with just three pushes of a button.

It may look like a video game, but it's actually a new system called "The Seer Shoots," which has entered operation in recent days on the Gaza Strip border.

Several of these domes were recently installed along the Israel-Gaza border. But you won't find the shooter inside, but rather in a virtual battleground, operating a heavy machine gun from a kilometer away.
