Why Israel’s New Gaza Documentary Is Triggering Backlash
A new documentary, *Naza*, has sparked fierce debate in Israel after winning the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival. Its Israeli filmmakers reportedly face condemnation at home, with some critics accusing them of treason. The film features testimony from 24 Israeli soldiers and intelligence officers who took part in the Gaza war. It alleges that military targeting systems calculated expected civilian casualties before strikes were approved, including in densely populated buildings. One testimony reportedly describes approval for a strike that could kill hundreds of civilians to target a single militant. The Israeli military has rejected the allegations. The filmmakers say the documentary is intended to challenge public denial of alleged war crimes in Gaza.
