Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called for a criminal investigation into the Israeli military personnel who appeared in the documentary NAZA. The film features 24 soldiers and officers, and one report says it was produced by The Guardian. According to that report, Netanyahu told the attorney general and the Shin Bet head to reveal the interviewees' identities and prosecute them for harming Israel. The sources differ in emphasis: one commentary says the soldiers are being targeted for telling the truth, while another describes the interviewees as anonymous sources.
