An Israeli singer who stars in the popular Netflix drama “Fauda” has been seriously wounded while fighting in Gaza, his family said Monday.
Idan Amedi, 35, was airlifted to the Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer on Monday after being hit with shrapnel, his father told the Israeli outlet Walla.
The Jewish star and dad of two has undergone surgery and is expected to recover from his injury with “no danger to his life,” his father said.
Amedi, who joined “Fauda” in season two playing Sagi Tzur, enlisted in the war effort after the Oct. 7 massacre that killed more than 1,200 people in Israel.
He was with the Israel Defense Force’s Combat Engineering Corps when he was injured.
“Fauda” creators Lior Raz and Avi Issacharoff on Monday touted Amedi as a real-life hero who stepped up to serve his country when he was needed.
