He was interviewed shortly before being injured and spoke about the tunnels built by Hamas which his unit was working on. “We found kilometers of tunnels here, weaponry, even special weaponry.

He later posted a video, writing, “I headed down south to join hundreds of brave ‘Brothers in Arms’ volunteers who worked tirelessly to assist the population in the south of Israel. We were sent to the bombarded town of Sderot to extract two families. No fear!” Sderot is just a few miles...

Fauda is a series created by Lior Raz and Avi Issacharoff. With Lior Raz, Hisham Suliman and Shadi Mar’i. You can watch the fourth season starting January 20 on Netflix.
Fauda in its fourth season in a mix of action, political thriller and the (evident) touch of social conflict. Beyond the evident confrontation (this is not a product about politics), this is a very entertaining series that has rhythm and intelligence and has known how to captivate the viewer with its complex plot, it elaborate characters and above all, its frenetic rhythm and elaborate construction in the parallel stories that have known how to reach an audience seeking big thrills.
This is a great success and excellent entertainment. The action scenes are very elaborate.
This season is just as good as the past ones: more of the same, more than one expects have made Fauda a phenomenon worth watching.
