Claim
a documentary alleging misconduct by Israeli forces in Gaza based on 24 alleged whistleblowers
Attributed to documentary 'NAZA'
Evidence
Multiple independent, credible outlets confirm the existence and content of this documentary. AJC, France24, Deadline, Times of Israel, FlaglerLive, and Wikipedia all describe 'NAZA' as an 80-minute documentary by Israeli filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, produced with The Guardian, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival (September 2026) and won the Special Jury Prize. The film features testimony from 24 anonymous Israeli military and intelligence personnel ('whistleblowers') who allege that Israel used AI-assisted targeting systems and accepted high civilian casualties in strikes on Gaza. The IDF has publicly and forcefully disputed the substance of the whistleblowers' claims, saying decisions are made by humans not AI and that the anonymous sources' identities/roles cannot be verified, but has not disputed that the film itself presents 24 such anonymous testimonies. The Times of Israel published a critical piece noting the film lacks certain journalistic standards (no right-of-reply for IDF, limited independent verification) but does not dispute the basic description of the film's format.

Assessment
The claim accurately describes the documentary's premise and format (24 anonymous whistleblowers alleging IDF misconduct in Gaza), which is corroborated by numerous independent news outlets and even acknowledged, in substance, by the IDF's own rebuttal statements; only the underlying factual accuracy of the whistleblowers' allegations (not the description of the film itself) is disputed by Israel.
Confidence
Independent, reputable sources corroborate (or refute) this claim directly.
