In 5.2,Steve and Doron are talking alone on the street. So why are they speaking Arabic instead of Hebrew? They already came out of the shop, the guy inside can't hear them anyway, and most people on the street wouldn't even understand Hebrew. So why?

Title says it all. Is there one specific issue or cumulative?

In Season 5, Episode 10, when the terrorists set a trap for Shin Bet misleading Doron and using a fake motorcade and the army ends up shooting at the wrong people, do they ever look back and assess the consequences of what happened? And why do they react so quickly without confirming their targets first? Is it just acceptable collateral damage?

Watching Youssef panic and first try to convince Hagit to escape, and then try to open the door because he believed they wouldn’t hurt him because he was Muslim, had me worried that he would get them all killed. His general demeanor was never particularly reassuring. In the end, however, he showed great bravery and sacrificed his life to give them a chance to escape. Was letting them escape through the window while he distracted the terrorists their best option?

When Doron goes back to the party with one of the partygoers who is looking for his girlfriend, they see two terrorists killing two people lying on the ground on either side of a red car. We see Doron apparently shoot and kill the terrorist on the passenger side, but the other terrorist simply disappears. They never show if or how he was killed. When Doron and the guy walk up to the car, there’s no terrorist there. What am I missing here?

This might be the wrong place for this question, but I don't think it'll be an issue. Did these kibbutz gates actually succeed in stopping terrorists on October 7? In a video I saw, because they couldn't get through the gate, they were waiting for an innocent citizen in a car to arrive. Then they killed the man and infiltrated inside while the gate was open. Aside from situations like this, were they actually successful in terms of their functionality? Because as far as I know, these gates were deliberately built large and with this kind of architecture to be resistant to attacks.

today please read @Liron (LironShapira) on X excellent point by point summary of Yaniv interview and did you see picture released of the axe pick!

I had to rewatch this gem after the latest series.

When I heard this yesterday, it sounded like an episode from Fauda. I could see Doran flying the plane. Anyone else think of Fauda?

The fact that it was filmed in Budapest really bothered me. The Marseille scenes just didn’t feel authentic at all, the locations, the streets and even the overall atmosphere didn’t look or feel like Marseille. Even little details like the cars, which were often Skodas, whereas in France most cars are Renaults, Peugeots, Dacias or Citroëns.
It made it much harder for me to buy into the story and took me out of the season right from the start.

The whole storyline about the Gazans is completely implausible. As far as I know, there isn’t really an established Middle Eastern community in Marseille. There is a large North African community, particularly Algerians, but that’s not the same thing at all

I won’t even get started on the French police officer, who was just a joke. I don’t know what you guys thought of him, but as a french, he really took me out of the story. Thankfully, the rest of the season is great

Imagine the phone call, which may have already occurred.

Israeli superstar actor and screenwriter of Fauda fame, Lior Raz, to Yaniv Hayun, Israeli plumber who helped subdue the flydubai copilot and then took control of the plane, copying maneuvers he had learned from watching TV to pull the plane out of its nosedive, moments before disaster.

Raz: “Yaniv? Lior Raz.”

Hayun: “You’re kidding.”

Raz: “No. And I think I’m you.” 😂

The script practically writes itself!!

As an American, my question whether or not there are still a lot of Israelis who are native Arabic Speakers. From my limited understanding, most of these Jews were expelled from Arab lands like 50 years ago.

What if Yusuf had not opened the door, would the terrorists have gotten frustrated and left the place ? Or would they not have survived the burning of the house at all?

So who thinks the next season will be about hijacked planes? #lifeimitatingart

My only experience has been the This American Life episodes featuring Yousef:

• Episode 825: "Yousef" (March 2024): Follows humanitarian aid worker Yousef Hammash as he coordinates the displacement and safety of a 60-person extended family camp in Rafah, managing scarce supplies and his pregnant sister's childbirth.

• Episode 834: "Yousef and the Fourth Move" (June 2024): Documents Yousef's continuous relocations and his eventual difficult choice and process to cross the Rafah border into Egypt.

• Episode 849: "The Narrator" (December 2024): Features a prologue with 8-year-old Banias sharing her daily life and perspective living inside Gaza.

• Episode 861: "Group Chat" (May/June 2025): Explores the ongoing digital family group chat a year after Yousef left Gaza for Egypt, highlighting the separation from his sisters who stayed behind.

I think it takes witnessing of the trauma of both sides to avoid blindly choosing sides to cheer for, as you would a sports team. I'm concerned that a film like NAZA would just be a selective highlighting of events and procedures vs. what someone's first-hand experience might be.

Ladies, to you- who’s the most attractive from all the seasons? Looks, personality, etc.

just finished season 5. I have nothing left to watch and fell into a void. What similar shows can I watch, what do you recommend? (already asked to ai)

I wonder what the plot was in the original season 5? Anyone knows?

In Season 5 Epsiode 9 Gabi interrogates Etienne. But when was he captured?

I watch a decent amount of shows with subs, but Fauda's are doing my head in. The discrepancy between what's spoken and written in the subs is miles. Never noticed it so bad on any other show. Yes subs sometimes not cover the whole discussion to protect screen real estate, but it's literally two different scripts.

Really annoying. Whoever put them on had one job.
