Israel mobilizes against Venice-prize documentary "Naza"

Israeli leaders and the military have launched a campaign against the documentary "Naza," which won a Venice jury prize and carries Israeli soldiers' testimonies on targeting civilians in Gaza.

• The film, by Israeli journalists Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, won the special jury prize at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday and drew 25 minutes of applause at its premiere.
• Netanyahu said "Naza" is part of a global wave of incitement against Jews, calling it unbearable when it comes from inside Israel.
• Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir ordered the military advocate general to review possible legal measures against the filmmakers and to probe suspected leaks of classified material.
• Culture Minister Miki Zohar threatened to strip the directors' citizenship, accusing them of "great treason."
• Hamas praised the documentary for exposing testimonies from 24 Israeli military intelligence members on killing civilians and urged the International Criminal Court to document them.
