A new documentary explores the Israeli military’s use of the term NAZA—Hebrew for "collateral damage"—to describe civilian casualties it considers unavoidable in conflict. The film, created by Israeli filmmakers, examines how such a concept is framed and justified within military strategy. It raises questions about accountability and the ethical implications of classifying civilian harm as an acceptable byproduct of warfare. The documentary offers a critical look at the blurred lines between military necessity and unintended consequences in modern conflict zones.
NAZA is an acronym for nezek agavi, Hebrew for "collateral damage." It refers to the number of civilian casualties the Israeli military deems acceptable. The documentary is made by Israeli filmmakers.
