Idan Amadi speaks for the first time after being seriously injured in Gaza: "I arrived at the hospital burnt and sooty"/Niv Aharonson
A little less than two months ago, the beloved singer
Idan Amadi
was very seriously injured during the fighting in Gaza, in an incident in which six IDF soldiers fell and dozens more were injured. That is still waiting for him.
About a week ago, the singer celebrated his 36th birthday and shared on his Instagram page the first photo from the serious injury. In the post he uploaded he wrote: "Happy second sad birthday in two months, thank God for all the free gifts.
And thank you to all the well-wishers, someday I will be able to thank you all, and for the life of adventures on the way."
Today (Thursday) he shared a particularly moving gift that he received from his friend and manager
Matan Zamir
, which frames the singer's phone, which was also damaged in the incident in which Amadi was injured, alongside the quote "In the end, I would return On everything" from Idan's poem, "In the end". Along with the moving quote, he also added the location to Burij and the date when it happened - 8.1.24.
Besides the significant and painful souvenir, Amadi also uploaded a photograph of the moving blessing he received: "Brother Dear Shelly, I thought a lot about how to celebrate such a birthday.
On the one hand, a birthday like every year.
On the other hand, war.
Seventh of October, concert cancellation, flight cancellation, Lebanon, Gaza, injury, intensive care, trauma, surgery, press conference, rehabilitation... and the calendar is still filling up."

"I wanted to tell you that I thank you for the privilege like every year. Usually just for the privilege of taking part, making people happy, doing good. This time also for the privilege of going through this journey together with you, I'm sure it teaches us great lessons for the years to come. 36 brother Mine, it's twice alive. There's no better way to define that milestone," he added.
Last December, Amadi and Zamir met in Gaza and uploaded a joint photo to the Instagram page, on which the singer wrote: "For the past two months, our availability has been poor, by phone, email and on the networks. Much because my beloved brother and partner in recent years, Matan Zamir, is also fighting inside the Strip. Last week we won to get together for a few hours in Khan Yunis, although they prefer Caesarea, but are satisfied with that for now.
Zamir is married and a father of two, he left everything in an instant and enlisted like many good people from the people of Israel. I know you will be embarrassed the moment you read this, but you and your ilk, you are a true Hanukkah miracle."
Following the events, the Netal Association is increasing the helpline at 1-800-363-363 or on the association's website. The line provides mental assistance to anyone who feels pressure, anxiety and needs support and mental assistance due to the situation.
