An Israeli documentary titled "NAZA," which focuses on the civilian death toll during the war in Gaza, has triggered significant domestic backlash following its receipt of the special jury prize at the Venice Film Festival last week. The film's recognition has prompted sharp criticism from high-ranking Israeli officials.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly condemned the filmmakers, characterizing the project as an act of incitement and antisemitism. Additionally, the head of the Israeli military has announced intentions to identify and track down the soldiers who participated in the documentary, as the controversy continues to intensify within Israel.
