A group of former Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza visited the set of the award-winning TV drama Fauda on Tuesday.

The five female IDF surveillance soldiers—Daniella Gilboa, Karina Ariev, Naama Levy, Agam Berger and Liri Albag—were released in January after being abducted during the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-led massacre in southern Israel.

The popular thriller, which premiered a decade ago and is streamed on Netflix, follows an undercover IDF unit that combats terrorism and conducts hostage rescue missions.

Israeli actor Idan Amedi, who portrayed undercover agent Sagi Tzur in the series, left the show earlier this year after being injured while serving in the military reserves during combat against Hamas in Gaza.

Fifty hostages remain in captivity in Gaza, including at least 20 who are believed to be alive.
