Netanyahu orders investigation into whistleblowers featured in Gaza documentary

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has launched an investigation into anonymous whistleblowers who appeared in the documentary NAZA to allege that the Israeli military intentionally killed civilians in Gaza. The film claims that an AI system was used to target Hamas members at the cost of numerous civilian lives, prompting Netanyahu to seek the prosecution of the sources for security breaches and defamation.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered an official investigation into anonymous whistleblowers featured in the documentary film NAZA. The film includes testimony from 24 individuals allegedly involved in the war in Gaza, who claim the Israeli Defense Forces intentionally killed tens of thousands of civilians. These sources describe the use of an artificial intelligence system that targeted Hamas members within their homes, causing significant collateral damage to non-combatants. The whistleblowers appear in the film with their identities concealed to protect their anonymity.

In response to the documentary, which recently received a special jury prize at the Venice Film Festival, Netanyahu has directed the military chief of staff, the head of the Shin Bet security agency, and the attorney general to pursue legal action against the sources. He accused them of violating security protocols, defamation, and harming Israel's international standing. While the Israeli military has disputed the claims and questioned the legitimacy of the speakers, the filmmakers maintain that their investigation was thorough.
