Israel's Chief, Major General Ofir, has publicly refuted claims made in the documentary film "NAZA," which accuses the Israeli army of striking targets in Gaza with full knowledge of the inevitability of civilian casualties, or even with the direct intent to harm them. Speaking at an international conference hosted by the International Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists, Ofir stated that the film's creators had distorted military procedures and attributed false intentions to Israeli forces. He asserted that his personal involvement in the legal approval processes for targets and operational orders provided him with insight into the entire system of strike planning. Ofir explained that the film misrepresented a protective mechanism designed to prevent or minimize civilian harm as evidence of indifference. He emphasized that the preliminary assessment of collateral damage is specifically intended to safeguard civilians, arguing that an army unconcerned with civilian lives would not invest resources in such risk calculations. The Military Advocate General's Corps will continue to monitor adherence to legal norms in target selection.
