Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered an investigation into the anonymous sources featured in the award-winning Gaza war documentary "NAZA". The film, which won a special jury prize at the Venice Film Festival, is based on testimony from 24 unnamed Israeli military whistleblowers who accuse the army of killing civilians using AI-powered targeting systems.
Netanyahu accused the film of telling a "false, misleading and biased story that defames the State of Israel and the army around the world" and threatened to back legislation to strip citizenship from those who defame soldiers. The Israeli army has rejected the accusations in the film, expressing doubts about the reliability of the anonymous contributors.
The military campaign in Gaza, launched in retaliation for Hamas's 2023 attacks, has resulted in over 74,000 casualties, according to the territory's health ministry.
