Netanyahu orders probe to identify soldiers in Gaza documentary NAZA

Tuesday, 13 October 2026, 06:22 · 1 min read

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the attorney general, the army chief and the head of the Shin Bet (Israel's domestic security service) to identify and prosecute soldiers and officers who appear anonymously in NAZA, a Guardian-produced documentary on civilian killings in Gaza, citing harm to Israel's diplomatic and security interests. The film, directed by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, won a special jury prize at the Venice festival; the military's top legal officer has said criminal charges would require evidence of security breaches, though disciplinary action remains possible. Press-freedom groups and film-festival leaders have condemned the move as intimidation, noting that protecting journalistic sources is a cornerstone of press freedom.
