Israeli singer and actor Idan Amedi, recovering in the hospital bed after his injuries in the Gaza Strip, requested to convey a message to the Israeli public Tuesday through Minister Hili Tropper, who visited him in the hospital: "I will be okay; what's important is that we stay strong together."

According to Tropper, who visited Amedi at the Sheba Medical Center, the “Fauda” star wanted to thank the Israeli people for their concern for him.
Amedi, serving as a reserve soldier in the IDF’s Combat Engineering Corps, was rushed to the hospital suffering from shrapnel wounds all over his body, sedated and on a ventilator. He was in a stable condition and underwent surgery.
The news of Amedi's injury attracted international attention, prompting colleagues in the music and entertainment industry to request prayers for his recovery.
Throughout the months of fighting, a series of clips from the Gaza Strip featuring Amedi were made public. One video released last month, captured from multiple angles, showed the demolition of a school in the Shijaiyah neighborhood of Gaza.
This school was pinpointed as a hub for terrorist activities, including tunnel shafts used by Hamas terrorists, in addition to various weapons and explosive devices. Amedi is seen in the video counting down before the detonation.
"In a minute we will blow this building in memory of all the victims, our brothers and sisters who were massacred on October 7," he says in the video.
