24 IDF Officers Detail Gaza Civilian Killings in 'NAZA' as Toll Reaches 73,000

Summary
Twenty-four anonymous IDF intelligence officers in the documentary "NAZA" describe systematic civilian killings in Gaza since Oct. 7, portraying them as deliberate policy rather than isolated abuses.
The film says Israeli forces used hacked phones, drones and AI targeting to strike suspects at home at night with their families nearby, treating civilian deaths as accepted "NAZA" collateral damage.
One officer says 500 civilians were killed to reach a single suspected militant, while others describe "annihilation zones," erased neighborhoods and snipers shooting Palestinians seeking food.
Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor premiered the 80-minute film at Venice, masking the whistleblowers' identities while framing the testimony as evidence of a broader state-run killing system.
The documentary links those practices to Israel's longer intelligence control over Gaza and argues Israeli artists are challenging official narratives as international scrutiny of the war intensifies.
