IDF Successfully Views Controversial Anti-Semitic Film, Prepares Response
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have managed to view the controversial documentary film "NezA," after previous attempts to obtain it failed. An IDF representative attended a screening of the film in Bologna, Italy, and watched it, according to Channel 12 News. Following this viewing, the IDF has compiled its first official document detailing the claims made in the film and is considering various response options.
The film centers on an anonymous testimony about a system called "NezA," which allegedly maps structures in the Gaza Strip and calculates the potential number of casualties in an attack. The testimony claims the system includes information on apartment residents and the number of children in them, and that accidental damage of up to 500 people in a single attack was previously approved.
The IDF has rejected these claims, stating that the identities, roles, and even military service of the interviewees cannot be verified. The army emphasized that decisions regarding target selection and attack approvals are made solely by human personnel. Furthermore, the IDF noted that some claims in the film pertain to national and military strategy, and that intelligence soldiers allegedly interviewed do not handle situations as described within their job definitions.
The army also asserted that the film misuses legal terms and portrays unintentional harm as intentional. The IDF stressed that any suspicion of law violations is investigated by independent enforcement mechanisms.
