Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formally requested the heads of the Shin Bet, the IDF General Staff, and the government's legal advisor to investigate and prosecute individuals involved in the film "Naza." The Prime Minister's office announced the directive, emphasizing the need to identify everyone connected to the film.
In a letter, Netanyahu stated, "I demand immediate action to reveal the identities of all those involved in and appearing in this defamatory film." He asserted that the film's creators and participants have severely damaged Israel's international standing and the information security of the secretive Unit 8200.
According to the letter, those involved likely committed serious criminal offenses related to the disclosure of classified information, creating a significant breach in the information security of a highly sensitive intelligence unit. The Prime Minister described the film as a "false, misleading, and biased narrative that defames the State of Israel and the IDF to the world and severely harms Israel's status."
Previously, the army's press service rejected key claims made in the film. The IDF denied that artificial intelligence independently makes decisions about strikes. The military stated that the "Lavender" program, mentioned in the film, is merely an auxiliary database for analysts, not a ready-made target list. Army representatives stressed that operational commanders and specialists always give the final authorization for attacks after thorough verification.
