NAZA documentary team says they consulted more than 100 sources on Israeli actions in Gaza

The team behind NAZA, an award-winning documentary examining the Israeli military's targeting policies in Gaza and its alleged acceptance of high numbers of civilian deaths, has said it consulted more than 100 sources with knowledge of the military systems used during the war.

The disclosure came in direct response to a statement from the Israel Defense Forces that sought to discredit the documentary's findings.

Film-makers defend their reporting

By revealing the scale of their sourcing, more than 100 individuals with relevant knowledge of the systems depicted in the film, the documentary's team appears aimed at reinforcing the credibility of its reporting in the face of the IDF's public pushback.

The film has drawn attention for its depiction of the targeting policies used by the Israeli military during the war in Gaza, including claims about the military's approach to civilian casualties. The IDF's attempt to discredit the documentary indicates the sensitivity of the subject matter and the contested nature of the claims made in the film.

Further details about the specific nature of the IDF's criticism, or additional responses from the film-makers beyond the disclosure of their sourcing, were not included in the available reporting.
