A survivor of the October 7 attacks disrupted the premiere of the documentary NAZA, shouting that his son had been killed, according to telegraaf.nl. The incident took place at the film's premiere, which telegraaf.nl reported on Thursday.
The documentary, covered by Dutch outlets including NOS, Trouw, de Volkskrant and NRC, examines how Israel's military was able to kill on a mass scale in Gaza using AI systems, according to nos.nl. Trouw described the film as a chilling documentary about the Israeli army's methods in Gaza, while de Volkskrant called it an account of the machinery behind the violence there.
According to nrc.nl, NAZA has drawn anger from Israel. The filmmakers told NRC that many people simply refused to watch or listen, and that the film was made for those people.
The reporting available does not include further details of the interruption, the identity of the survivor, or the filmmakers' full remarks.
The premiere disruption adds a public confrontation to the debate around the film, which has already provoked strong reactions in the Netherlands and from Israel. Further responses from the filmmakers, Israeli officials, or those who attended the screening are the next thing to watch.
