The story

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered an official investigation into soldiers and officers interviewed anonymously in the documentary film NAZA. The directive, issued to the Attorney General and heads of the IDF and Shin Bet, targets personnel who provided testimony for the project tagged with AI and surveillance concerns on social media. Critics allege the film utilizes artificial intelligence tools to analyze or present evidence of conduct in Gaza, though specific technical methodologies remain unverified. The government characterizes the interviews as potential security breaches requiring scrutiny by military and intelligence leadership. This development highlights the growing friction between state military oversight and emerging technologies used in conflict documentation. No charges have been filed against the anonymous sources at this time. The investigation aims to determine if classified information was improperly disclosed during the film's production.
