Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu demanded a criminal investigation and prosecution of the participants in the film "NAZA," claiming it is a false allegation and exposes top-secret information. In a letter to the Chief of Staff, the Shin Bet head, and the Attorney General, he attached the IDF's 17-page response rejecting the film's claims.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu demanded this evening (Sunday, October 11, 2026) to open a criminal investigation and prosecute the participants in the film "NAZA." In a letter sent to Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, Shin Bet head David Zini, and Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, Netanyahu attacked the film as a "false, misleading, and biased allegation" that severely damages Israel's standing in the world. He warned against exposing top-secret information and creating a breach in the information security of Unit 8200. Attached to the letter was the IDF's 17-page response, which rejects the film's central claims: that artificial intelligence independently selected targets, and that there is a policy allowing attacks based on a predetermined number of civilians. The IDF pointed to a partial and distorted presentation of decision-making processes, omission of essential contexts such as the October 7 attack and Hamas activity among the civilian population, and manipulative editing of interviews.
