The film-makers behind NAZA, a documentary on Israel's killing of Palestinians in Gaza, defended their findings at the film's North American premiere in New York, amid threats from Israeli officials, according to The Guardian.
Directors Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor spoke out at the premiere as protests took place in Israel and officials there threatened to strip them of their citizenship, the report said.
The documentary, produced by The Guardian, features testimony from 24 anonymized Israeli soldiers and intelligence officers describing AI-powered systems used to select targets in Gaza, according to the report.
The film's title is described as an acronym used within Israeli intelligence to indicate the expected number of civilian deaths anticipated from an airstrike, the report said.
The Guardian's report did not specify further details of the Israeli officials' threats or say what formal steps, if any, had been taken toward revoking the film-makers' citizenship.
