Private Investigators Release Anonymous Testimony Alleging Fabricated Evidence in 'Niz'a' Documentary

A private investigation firm, Kvantin Investigations, has released a video featuring an anonymous young man claiming involvement in the production of the documentary film 'Niz'a' (Accidental Damage), which examines IDF operations. The young man alleges that the filmmakers paid interviewees to inflate Palestinian casualty figures, offering approximately 10 Israeli shekels per reported death. He claims that if an interviewee reported 500 deaths, they would receive 5,000 shekels.

The anonymous source further asserted that the film's presented figures, suggesting 400-500 non-combatants were killed in a single incident, do not align with his understanding of military realities. He cited the assassination of Mohammed Deif as the largest incident of 'accidental damage' he was aware of, resulting in around 90 deaths, about half of whom were Hamas operatives.

The young man expressed regret for his participation, labeling the filmmakers as "extreme leftists" motivated by ideological and financial reasons. However, these claims were presented through an anonymous source without supporting evidence provided by Kvantin Investigations.

Adding to the skepticism, private investigator Shmulik Maman, from Kvantin Investigations, admitted in an interview with Walla that he did not verify the anonymous source's claims, stating his role was merely to provide a "platform." Consequently, the credibility of the testimony and the extent to which the documentary's data was fabricated or paid for remain unproven based on the information released.
