Israeli musician and actor Idan Amedi played a soldier in an elite unit fighting Hamas in the Netflix series “Fauda.” After the real major attack by the terrorist organization, the 35-year-old volunteered to join the army – now he was seriously injured during an operation and is in hospital.
Amedi was with his unit, theCombat Engineering Corps, stationed in the Gaza Strip. It is unknown exactly how the Netflix star was injured during his deployment. His family confirmed reports from several Israeli media that he was injured in combat and admitted to Sheba Hospital in Tel Hashomer.

Reports on usage on Instagram
Shortly before the major Hamas attack on October 7, Amedi enlisted as a reservist in the Israeli Defense Forces. He is considered one of the first celebrities from Israel to go to war. He regularly reported on his efforts to his 250,000 fans on Instagram. He wrote in a post: “Let’s not wonder if we are cold, how we sleep at night or if we have food. These are all questions from a world of yesterday.” After the Hamas attack, he knows “more than ever” what he is fighting for.
He also had clear words for critics of the war. “Even after 90 days of fighting, we are still destroying Hamas’s rocket launch pads and command facilities. I call on politicians, the media and everyone else: if you have nothing good to say, just keep your mouth shut. The people of Israel live.”
Just an hour before he was injured, he reportedly gave an interview to television station N12, according to the Jerusalem Post. He explained: “I’m fine, I’m a little tired.” However, he found the situation strange: “It’s strange to see you here in the middle of this case. You seem so beautiful to me that I don’t even know how to behave.
In the series “Fauda”, Amedi played the character of Sagi Tzur – who fights in an Israeli special unit against the Hamas terrorists. The producers praised the artist’s efforts, saying he was a “real hero”. “Our thoughts go out to him and his family as we pray for his speedy recovery,” the show’s creators said on social media.
