A documentary titled ‘NAZA’ by Oscar-winning Israeli directors Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor has won the Venice Film Festival jury prize, receiving widespread attention after a record 25-minute standing ovation. The film makes allegations that AI technology was used to assist in the killing of Gaza civilians.

The documentary’s recognition at the prestigious international film festival comes amid significant controversy. The IDF has categorically rejected the allegations presented in the film and has questioned the credibility of anonymous testimony used in the production.

The film’s Venice success brings heightened international scrutiny to Israeli military operations in Gaza and raises broader questions about the use of artificial intelligence in warfare and civilian protection measures. The clash between the filmmakers’ accusations and the IDF’s denial reflects ongoing debates about accountability and documentation of the conflict.
