Israeli actor and musician Idan Amedi, best known for starring in the hit Netflix show 'Fauda,' will be released from the hospital on Tuesday, according to a statement issued on his behalf on Monday. Amedi was seriously injured while fighting in Gaza two weeks ago.
While serving in a reserve combat engineering unit in Gaza two weeks ago, an explosion left the 35-year-old Amedi unconscious for several days with shrapnel in his eye sockets, jaw and neck.
Amedi will hold a press conference at Tel Aviv's Sheba Medical where he will answer questions for the first time about his reserve duty, the injury and rehabilitation, and future plans. He is expected to begin home rehabilitation.
