'Fauda' crew member 'killed in action' amid Israel-Hamas conflict: Makers
New Delhi: A crew member from the Netflix drama ''Fauda'' has been ''killed in action'' in Gaza amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and militant group Hamas.
According to the official X page of the Israeli series, the crew member who lost his life was Matan Meir.
''We are devastated to share that one of our Fauda family members, Matan Meir, was killed in action in Gaza. Matan was an integral crew member. ''The cast and crew are heartbroken by this tragic loss. We extend our condolences to Matan's family and friends. May his soul rest in peace,'' the post read. No other details were provided.
''Fauda'' co-creator and lead star Lior Raz also shared the news of Meir's death on his official Instagram account. In October, Raz joined the 'Brothers in Arms' volunteers along with co-creator and journalist Avi Yissascharov to extract two families from the bombarded town of Sderot in the wake of the Israel-Hamas conflict.
''Fauda'' has been criticised by a section of viewers for ''whitewashing'' the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

DMK seeks separate seating in Lok Sabha after split with Congress alliance
New Delhi: Kanimozhi Karunanidhi has written to the Lok Sabha Speaker seeking a separate seating arrangement for Members of Parliament belonging to the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) following the end of the party’s alliance with the Indian National Congress.
In a letter dated May 7 addressed to the Speaker of the Lok Sabha, Kanimozhi said the changed political situation made it inappropriate for DMK MPs to continue sitting alongside Congress members in the House.
She requested the Speaker to make “suitable changes” in the seating arrangement of the DMK Parliamentary Party and allot separate seating for its MPs.
“In view of the changed political circumstances and as our alliance with the Indian National Congress has come to an end, it may not be appropriate for our Members to continue occupying the present seating arrangement alongside them in the House,” the letter stated.
Kanimozhi further said separate seating would help DMK members effectively discharge their responsibilities in the Lok Sabha.
