Protesters Target Co-Director's Parents' Home Over "NAZA" Film Accusations

Dozens of protesters demonstrated for a second consecutive evening on September 17, 2026, outside the home of Rachel Shor, co-director of the documentary film "NAZA," in Savion. The demonstrators carried signs accusing the filmmakers of treason and chanted slogans condemning the film's creators. Public activist Mordechai David was present and stated his intention to pursue the filmmakers upon their return from abroad, according to The Times of Israel. Activists from the "Jewish Power" party's election campaign headquarters reportedly supported the protest's organization, and social media messages calling for violence were circulated. Police maintained a strong presence to ensure order.

The documentary "NAZA" alleges that military structures used artificial intelligence for target selection, resulting in civilian casualties in Gaza. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have vehemently denied these accusations, calling them baseless. Despite the film not yet being widely seen, public debate surrounding it is intensifying. Several Israeli politicians have sharply criticized the project. The Minister of Culture condemned the filmmakers and suggested revoking their citizenship. The Film Council has requested a public screening of the film in Israel for content review, and the IDF has asked for the full materials to prepare a detailed response to the claims.
