  "account": "Israeli intelligence officers and soldiers have described their work in Gaza as an intense, enjoyable experience akin to playing a video game. In NAZA, a film by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, 24 interviewees share their experiences, including the use of surveillance and technological systems to target civilians. The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) has rejected these claims, and the filmmakers have been unable to return to Israel due to threats. The film highlights the use of an AI system called Lavender to identify targets and the dehumanisation of civilians in the soldiers' minds. Some interviewees corroborate UN reports of civilian displacement and destruction, detailing the military's goal to create uninhabitable zones in Gaza.",
  "summary": "Israeli filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor have been exiled from their home country over their documentary, NAZA, which features IDF personnel detailing systematic slaughter.",
