Amedi, a Combat Engineering Corps reservist, was interviewed just hours before the incident, revealing the intense mission against Hamas tunnels and weaponry. Lior Raz and 'Fauda' co-creator Avi Issacharov have also returned to military service amid the conflict, sparked by Hamas attacks in October.
The actor's portrayal of Sagi Tzur, an elite IDF soldier in 'Fauda,' adds a poignant dimension to his real-life involvement in the ongoing conflict. The war's toll includes civilian casualties, hostages, and a complex geopolitical landscape.
