Star singer, Fauda actor Idan Amedi seriously wounded fighting in Gaza; father says injury not life-threatening

Star singer and actor Idan Amedi was seriously injured while fighting in Gaza and has been airlifted to Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer, where he is currently sedated and receiving treatment.

His cousin Ayelet posts the update on Instagram and asks for the Israeli public to pray for the recovery of Idan ben Tova (Amedi’s Hebrew name).

Amedi’s father confirms the injury to the Walla news site, but says his life is now not in danger.

The Fauda star had been carrying out reserve duty in the Combat Engineering Corps when he was injured.

He was brought to the hospital at about 4 p.m. and underwent urgent, serious and lengthy surgery, Channel 12 reports. “It can be cautiously said that he is out of life-threatening danger,” a reporter says from the hospital. “That is to say, people who arrive in conditions similar to him, mostly manage to survive injuries such as these.”

In a video message recorded last week from amid the war, Amedi urged a halt to internal dissent among Israelis: “After 90 days of fighting, we are continuing to destroy the short-range missile sites, the launch sites and the command facilities of the Hamas terrorist organization. I join my brother reservists in calling on the politicians, all the media outlets and everyone: Whoever doesn’t have something good to say, simply shut your mouths. The people of Israel live.”
