Lawyer and social media star Raz Atiya filed a formal complaint with the Israel Police against the creators of the documentary 'Naz'a', Yuval Abraham and Rachel Shor, alleging that its creation and worldwide distribution exposed security information that should not have been published. The film, which won the Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival, includes testimonies from soldiers and intelligence officers about IDF operations during the war in the Gaza Strip, and presents serious allegations regarding the use of force, target selection, and civilian casualties. The IDF has rejected the claims presented in the film. In the complaint letter, filed on September 14, 2026, Atiya requests that the police examine whether, during the collection, transfer, possession, and distribution of materials, security information or information prohibited from publication was exposed. He also requested to examine the raw materials, the identity of the informants, and the nature of the information provided. Atiya stated: 'There is a line that must not be crossed. Criticism is a right, creation is a right, and freedom of speech is an important value, but the security of the state and IDF soldiers are not raw materials that can be taken, collected, and distributed worldwide without checking whether red lines established by law were crossed along the way.'
