"Naza" wins special jury prize at Venice Film Festival

Two Israeli filmakers received the special jury prize at this year's Venice

Film Festival, which came to a close on Saturday.

Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor's documentary "Naza" is about

military strategies employed by the Israeli military in the war in Gaza.

Shot on the rooftops of Tel Aviv at night in extreme secrecy over

three years, "Naza" features testimony of 24 Israeli military insiders

who gave insight into the war in Gaza and what they say was the

systemic killing of Palestinian civilians.

The film was added to the festival's main competition late, and

debuted late in the schedule.

It received a record-breaking standing ovation last some

25 minutes after its premiere.
