The word
In the film, NAZA is the slang / acronym Israeli intelligence uses for expected civilian “collateral” in a strike. The title is the bureaucracy of a death count.
The Record
This page restates what the film and its journalism partners have already put on the record. It is not a substitute for watching NAZA.
The method
Shot at night from rooftops in Tel Aviv, NAZA follows remote surveillance and attack systems used against Palestinians in Gaza, including programs the filmmakers and reporting partners describe as AI-assisted targeting.
The witnesses
Twenty-four Israeli military personnel, officers, and intelligence soldiers speak on condition of anonymity. Faces and voices are digitally altered. The Guardian’s investigative team produced the film with JW Films and worked with +972 Magazine and Local Call.
The claim the film makes
The official Venice synopsis: the film “reveals in detail the systems behind Israel’s calculated mass killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza.” Coverage has included a reported case of hundreds of civilians approved dead to kill one operative.
