IDF Chief Orders Legal Review Of ‘NAZA’ Documentary And Probe Into Classified Leaks
Gen. Eyal Zamir ordered legal and security reviews as the military said the film spreads false allegations and could endanger soldiers.
- On Monday, IDF Chief Eyal Zamir ordered a legal review and investigation into classified material leaks regarding the documentary NAZA, which alleges Israel used AI-assisted systems in Gaza operations causing civilian deaths.

- The IDF rejected specific promotional claims, including an allegation that a strike anticipating about 500 civilian deaths was approved, while maintaining that human personnel authorize all strikes, not AI-assisted systems.

- Beyond legal action, Zamir called for a broad public diplomacy effort involving the Foreign Ministry and Justice Ministry to address implications for troops' personal safety and Israel's national security.
