A new documentary film has revealed the secret Israeli military systems used in the mass killings of Gaza civilians, based on testimony from 24 Israeli military insiders. The film, titled NAZA, premiered at the Venice International Film Festival on Thursday, competing for the prestigious Golden Lion award.
What the Documentary Reveals
NAZA, directed by Oscar-winning Israeli filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, provides extensive testimony from Israeli intelligence officers and soldiers involved in surveillance and remote killing operations. The film's title comes from an Israeli military acronym used euphemistically to refer to civilians expected to be killed in a military attack.
Interviews were filmed at night on rooftops in Tel Aviv, with participants granted anonymity due to the risks of speaking publicly. Their appearances and voices were digitally altered to protect their identities.
Key Secret Systems Exposed
The documentary details several secret methods used by the Israeli military in Gaza:
- AI-based targeting systems built to identify large numbers of potential low-ranking Hamas targets, who were then bombed in their homes at night, knowingly killing their families.
- Phone hacking to identify the location of targets.
- Covert listening into conversations to gather intelligence.
- Remote killing operations using surveillance technology.
These systems raise serious ethical questions about the use of artificial intelligence in warfare and the civilian toll.
