‘Fauda’ actor Idan Amedi posts first photo of injuries he sustained in Gaza

Israeli actor and singer-songwriter Idan Amedi, who was released from hospital last month after sustaining serious injuries while fighting in the Gaza Strip, posts a photo taken in the days after he was wounded.

“Every now and then I have some understanding of the miracle that happened to me, but honestly I don’t think I will ever grasp it,” he writes on Instagram. “That’s how miracles are, you have to accept them and above all, don’t forget what happened.”

Amedi says that when he was first treated, the injuries to his face were so severe that he was unrecognizable and was he admitted for care as “John Doe.”

Amedi, perhaps best known for his role on the hit TV show “Fauda,” was seriously injured by an explosion on January 8 as he served in the Combat Engineering Corps reserves in Gaza. Six soldiers were killed and several others, including Amedi, were injured in the incident, which was apparently accidentally caused by troops.
