Idan Amedi, an Israeli singer, songwriter and actor, has been severely injured in an ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, an Israeli diplomat said on Monday.

Amedi, who acted in Netflix’s iconic show Fauda, joined the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) after the outbreak of the war and got grievously injured in a battle in Gaza’s Khan Yunis.

Informing about his injury, Israeli diplomat Avia Levi posted on X, “Idan Amedi, one of Fauda’s actors, has been seriously injured in a battle in Gaza”.

“We pray and pray for your speedy recovery,” she added.

The Israeli Embassy in Greece also prayed for his speedy recovery and posted on X, “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.”

Notably, the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas launched an attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, killing over 1,200 people and taking 240 hostages. Later, Israel retaliated with intense bombardment and a ground invasion of Gaza which resulted in the death of more than 22,000 people.

In addition, more than 57,000 people have also been wounded in Israeli strikes on Gaza since October 7.
