  "account": "A groundbreaking documentary titled NAZA, which uncovers the systematic killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza, garnered a record-breaking 24-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival on Thursday. Directed by Israeli filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, the film features testimony from 24 Israeli soldiers and intelligence officers about the mechanisms behind Israel's killings in Gaza. The audience's emotional response was particularly high, with many Palestinians holding Palestinian flags during the applause. The film's title refers to a Hebrew military acronym for \"collateral damage,\" which the filmmakers used to describe the estimated civilian deaths in strikes. NAZA was filmed secretly on rooftops in Tel Aviv, and its release has been met with heavy praise from both festival-goers and activists.",
