NAZA

NAZA is a documentary directed by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, about the systems behind the large-scale civilian casualties in Gaza. On the rooftops of Tel Aviv, far from the war zone, Israeli soldiers hold secret conversations at night. Step by step, it becomes visible how the army and intelligence services determine who is a target, which technologies and procedures are deployed, and how many civilian casualties an attack is allowed to cost. Dozens to sometimes hundreds of Palestinian civilians can be considered an acceptable price for eliminating a single target. The film asks how the killing of innocent civilians can become so normalized within a military apparatus that it is no longer viewed as a moral or legal problem. The title refers to Nezek Agavi, 'collateral damage', the Israeli military term for the expected number of civilian casualties from an airstrike. The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival and won the Special Jury Prize there. It runs 80 minutes, is a 2026 production, and is shown with French and Dutch subtitles at Cinéma Galeries.
