The actor - who plays the commander of an undercover Israeli unit in Fauda - was praised by fans for his real-life intervention.
The star of hit TV show Fauda says he travelled to southern Israel to rescue families under siege from Hamas. Lior Raz said he joined 'brave brothers in arms' in Sderot - a city right on the Gaza border. He posted a video on X showing him and the show's co-creator, journalist Avi Issacharoff, taking cover as rockets fire overhead. Both are former members of Israel's undercover Duvdevan counter-terror unit.
Yohanan Plesner, the other man mentioned in Raz's post, is the president of the Israel Democracy Institute. He's also a former politician and ex-member of the Sayeret Matkal unit, a unit modelled on the UK's SAS. Raz plays the commander of an undercover Israeli unit in Fauda - with the show depicting the human cost of both sides of the Israel-Palestinian conflict. It's become an international hit after appearing on Netflix.
