获奖纪录片《NAZA》讲述了以色列军方在加沙的目标选择政策，以及据称其默许造成大量平民死亡的情况。制作团队披露，他们采访了100多名了解战争中所用军事系统的消息人士。
The team behind the award-winning film NAZA, which details the Israeli military’s targeting policies in Gaza and its alleged acceptance of high numbers of civilian deaths, have revealed they spoke to more than 100 sources with knowledge of the military systems used in the war.
这一披露是以色列国防军发表一份试图质疑这部纪录片可信度的声明后作出的。
The disclosure came in response to an Israel Defense Forces statement seeking to discredit the documentary.
以军称，这份回应依据的是电影制作者发表的声明，以及一名代表观看影片后提交的审查意见。以军声称，影片存在“严重错误”，并依赖对24名情报人员及其他军人的采访，而这些受访者只对目标审批流程有所了解。
In its response, which the IDF said was based on statements made by the film-makers and a review made by a representative who had attended a viewing, the Israeli military claimed there were “substantial errors” in the film and that it had relied on interviews with two dozen intelligence and other troops who had only a partial picture of the target approval process.
以军反驳的核心，是其屡次重申的说法：交战规则明确区分武装人员和平民，禁止故意将平民作为目标，同时要求指挥官采取措施将平民伤害降至最低。这些说法多年来一直受到批评者的质疑。
At the centre of the IDF’s rebuttal was its often repeated claim that its rules of engagement explicitly distinguish between militants and civilians and prohibit deliberately targeting civilians, while requiring commanders to take steps to minimise civilian harm, claims that have long been challenged over the years by critics.
以军承认使用人工智能协助推荐加沙境内潜在打击目标，但同时表示，有关实施打击以及平民伤亡风险的最终决定，均由军官签署批准。
While acknowledging that it uses AI to help recommend potential targets in Gaza the IDF also said final decisions made on strikes, and the risk of civilian casualties, were signed off by officers.
以军还否认，其曾批准、策划或实施一次预计将造成500名平民伤亡的袭击，以打击单一的哈马斯目标。
The IDF also denied that it approved, planned or carried out an attack anticipating 500 civilian casualties in pursuit of a single Hamas target.
以色列国防军的这份声明，此前以色列政客曾试图淡化“NAZA”——这是以色列情报部门用来委婉指代其预计在空袭中丧生的平民人数的军事缩写——并伴随着对该片导演于瓦尔·亚伯拉罕（Yuval Abraham）和拉hel·索尔（Rachel Szor）的死亡威胁，以及该国总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡（Benjamin Netanyahu）要求剥夺他们以色列国籍的呼吁。
这也呼应了此前一些以色列评论员（包括记者）的抱怨，即尽管新闻调查中的消息来源保护既司空见惯又被大多数媒体视为道德要求，但该片的军事消息来源却被匿名化了。
The IDF statement follows previous efforts by Israeli politicians to dismiss NAZA – a military acronym euphemistically used by Israeli intelligence to indicate the number of civilians that it expects will be killed in an airstrike – which have accompanied death threats against the film’s directors Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, and calls by the country’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, for them to be stripped of their Israeli citizenship It also echoed previous complaints by some Israeli critics – including journalists – that the film’s military sources were anonymised despite the fact that source protection in media investigations is both common place and regarded by much of the media as an ethical requirement.
声明还补充道：“电影《NAZA》呈现了一幅扭曲、误导且不切实际的画面，歪曲了以色列国防军的目标规划和打击流程。该片的叙事建立在源于歪曲和操纵性描绘的根本性事实错误之上。”
“The film NAZA presents a distorted, misleading, and unrealistic picture of the IDF’s target planning and strike processes. The film’s narrative is based on fundamental factual errors stemming from a skewed and manipulative portrayal,” the statement added.
作为对以军声明的回应，该片的制作方《卫报》披露了制作团队如何核实这些指控的更多细节，其中包括对了解以军目标锁定和授权流程的人员进行了大量采访。
Responding to the IDF statement, the Guardian, the producers of the film, disclosed further details of how the team had verified the allegations which involved scores of interviews with those with knowledge of IDF targeting and authorisation processes.
“以色列国防军试图将《NAZA》中的24名参与者描绘成仅参与目标锁定初期阶段的初级军官，这与事实不符。”
“The IDF’s attempt to portray the 24 participants in NAZA as junior-ranking officers involved only in the early stages of the targeting process is false.
“其中包括参与了加沙目标锁定过程多个阶段的军官和士兵，涵盖情报、作战以及最终授权流程。”
“They include officers and soldiers who were involved in multiple stages of the targeting process in Gaza, including intelligence, operations and the final authorisation process.
“对证词可信度的评估过程极其严格。其中包括泄露的机密文件、对具体空袭的详细核实，以及通过未在片中出镜的更广泛的机密新闻消息来源进行的交叉印证。”
“The process of assessing the credibility of the testimonies was rigorous. It included leaked classified documents, detailed verification of specific strikes and corroboration via a wider pool of confidential journalistic sources who did not appear on camera in the film.
在过去三年中，我们与超过100位熟悉以色列国防军（IDF）在加沙战争中使用的军事系统的消息人士进行了采访，其中包括那些直接参与批准军事行动的高级指挥官。
“Over the past three years we have together interviewed more than 100 sources familiar with IDF systems used in the war in Gaza, including senior-ranking commanders directly involved in the authorisation of strikes.
《卫报》全力支持这部纪录片，该纪录片的制作基于《卫报》及其合作伙伴三年来的详细报道。此后，包括《纽约时报》、《华盛顿邮报》和美联社在内的多家备受尊敬的新闻机构都证实了以色列国防军在加沙攻势中确实使用了基于人工智能的军事系统，并且证实了以色列国防军为保护平民而制定的安全措施被削弱了。
“The Guardian stands fully behind the film, which builds on three years of detailed reporting by the Guardian and our partners. Several highly respected news organisations have subsequently confirmed the IDF’s use of AI-driven systems in the Gaza offensive and the loosening of safeguards to protect civilians, including the New York Times, Washington Post and Associated Press.”
尽管内塔尼亚胡声称以色列的军事安全措施使得以色列军队在现代战争中的平民伤亡比例处于较低水平，但这一说法受到了以色列国防军自身泄露的伤亡数据、2024年联合国调查委员会的调查结果以及“武装暴力行动”（Action on Armed Violence）等非政府组织的研究结果的质疑。
While Netanyahu has claimed that Israeli military safeguards have led to one of the lowest civilian-combatant ratios in modern warfare, that has been challenged by the IDF’s own leaked casualty assessments, by the UN’s commission of inquiry in 2024 and research by NGOs including Action on Armed Violence.
