Israeli woman interrupts screening of NAZA documentary in Delft

An Israeli woman interrupted a documentary screening in Delft to protest the film NAZA, which covers the Israeli military's use of AI targeting systems. The film's critical portrayal of these tactics has faced intense opposition from the Israeli government and led to public tension during the screening.

During a screening of the documentary NAZA in Delft, Israeli citizen Sabine Taasa interrupted the event to share her personal experience regarding the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks. Taasa, who lost her husband and son during the conflict, stepped in front of the screen with a microphone, while a companion attempted to display images of the attacks, which was blocked by other attendees. Audience members reacted negatively, calling for her removal from the venue.

The documentary NAZA, directed by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, features interviews with 24 former military and intelligence personnel. They discuss an AI-based system used to target Hamas members at home, which reportedly resulted in significant civilian casualties. While the filmmakers stand by their extensive research, the Israel Defense Forces have questioned the authenticity of the subjects, and the Israeli government has strongly opposed the film, with Prime Minister Netanyahu proposing punitive measures against the creators.
