Idan Amedi, an Israeli singer-songwriter who had acted in the iconic Netflix show ‘Fauda’, has been seriously injured during ground operations against the Hamas group in Gaza, an Israeli diplomat said on Monday.
“Idan Amedi, one of Fauda’s actors, has been seriously injured in a battle in Gaza. We pray and pray for your speedy recovery,” Avia Levi posted on X.
Amedi, who had acted in the iconic Netflix show, had joined the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) after the war broke out on October 7.
He had posted a video online in military fatigues on October 12, stating that “it’s not a scene from Fauda, it’s real life.”
Amedi was injured during a battle in Gaza’s Khan Younis, the Israeli embassy said in an online post while wishing him a speedy recovery.
“Wishing a speedy recovery to the great musician, singer and #Fauda actor Idan Amedi who was severely injured in battle in Khan Yunis in Gaza,” said Israel in Greece on X.
Israel declared its war against Hamas on October 7, vowing to destroy the group after they launched a land-sea-air assault in towns near the Gaza border. Over 1,400, mostly civilians, were killed in the Hamas attack while several Israelis, foreigners and dual nationals were taken hostage by Palestinian groups.
Meanwhile, Israel’s military campaign in Gaza has killed at least 22,000 people, mostly women and children, according to the Hamas.
