What happens

Fauda (Hebrew: פאודה, from Arabic: فوضى fawḍā, meaning "chaos" or "mess") is an Israeli television series developed by Lior Raz and Avi Issacharoff drawing on their experiences in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). It tells the story of Doron, a commander in the Mista'arvim unit and his team; in the first season, they pursue a Hamas arch-terrorist known as "The Panther". Internationally, the series is streamed by Netflix. The first season was filmed in Kafr Qasim during the 2014 Gaza War, and premiered on 15 February 2015. The second season premiered on 31 December 2017. The third season takes place in the Gaza Strip and aired in 2019 and 2020. A fourth season aired in early 2023 and it expands the Fauda world to Brussels, Syria, and Lebanon. Season 5 was filmed in 2025 and was released on 18 May 2026. A film follow-up has been reported to be in creation, though show's frontrunners have not confirmed this. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
