IDF officials have approached the Shin Bet requesting assistance in investigating the 'Naz'a' film affair, but the Shin Bet is not yet involved and is awaiting an official request. The approach comes after Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir ordered legal steps and an examination of the leak of classified materials. The film, produced in collaboration with 'The Guardian', presents testimonies from Unit 8200 soldiers about IDF activities in Gaza, claims the military rejects.

IDF officials have approached the General Security Service (Shin Bet) requesting assistance in investigating the 'Naz'a' film affair, which has sparked controversy in Israel and worldwide. At this stage, the Shin Bet is not yet involved in the investigation, and officials in the organization responded to the IDF that they are awaiting an official request, expected to be submitted after a decision by the Military Advocate General, Itai Ofir, in coordination with the Attorney General, Gali Baharav-Miara. The approach to the Shin Bet is part of a series of steps ordered by the Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir, following the film. Zamir instructed the Military Advocate General to examine possible legal actions regarding the film and those involved, as well as to examine aspects of information security and the leak of classified materials. Additionally, a multi-organizational and multi-disciplinary team was established led by the head of the Planning Directorate to formulate courses of action. At the center of the examination is Unit 8200, whose activities form a central part of the film. The film, produced in collaboration with the British newspaper 'The Guardian', presents testimonies from 24 soldiers who allegedly served in the unit and describe IDF activities during the war in the Gaza Strip. The film raises serious allegations regarding the policy of collateral damage, attacks and assassinations, and the use of artificial intelligence tools. The IDF rejects the claims and argues that some are false, distorted, and disconnected from reality. The examination is being opened while Israel has not yet obtained a full copy of the film.
