Israeli singer, songwriter and actor Idan Amedi was seriously wounded in combat in the Gaza Strip today.
Amedi (35) is a popular Israeli artist, and a cast member of the well-known Israeli series Fauda.
When war broke out on October 7, Amedi, like so many other Israelis, immediately joined his reserve unit and has been fighting for the past months in Gaza as a combat engineer.
His condition is reportedly serious but stable. (Israel Hayom)

Hamas today released a video of four captive female Israeli soldiers. We have learned from women released from Gaza that the young women being held are sexually abused by Hamas terrorists.
This psychological pressure is perfectly timed.
Hamas is driving a wedge into Israeli society with these images, just as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrives to demand that Israel wind down the Gaza war.
Israel looks set to repeat the mistake of every previous Gaza war by standing down before Hamas is destroyed.
Now, Benjamin Netanyahu must decide whether to listen to his people, or to Washington. As experienced as he is, many fear Bibi doesn't have it in him.

Israel yesterday killed a very senior Hezbollah commander in southern Lebanon, Foreign Minister Israel Katz confirmed.
Wissam al-Tawil, a senior officer in the Radwan forces of the Shiite terrorist group Hezbollah, was killed in a drone strike. "This is a very painful setback for Hezbollah," Israeli security sources said.
The elimination of al-Tawil is actually more dramatic than the targeted strike on Hamas leader Saleh al-Arouri in Beirut a few days ago.

โผ๏ธQatari sources say an Israeli delegation has landed in Cairo to negotiate another hostage deal. It's about the young female soldiers who are in captivity and whom Israel wants to free at all costs.
Yesterday, there was a dramatic debate in the Knesset regarding these female captives, who we know from others that were released or rescued are being sexually abused.
There is growing concern that some of them could already be several months pregnant.
For the parents, the pain is unbearable. For Israeli leaders, the decision is impossible.
