Herzog, Elor Azaria and NAZA: Today's Israel openly applauds war crimes

Despite Iran's failure to fully cooperate with the investigation, the mission gathered testimonies from 73 individuals, satellite imagery, video, photographic material, and information from credible human rights organizations and forensic and military experts.
