From the battlefield to music and the screen, art became a way to process, breathe and keep going

Nadav, 34, is a singer, songwriter and actor. He served as a combat soldier in the Duvdevan unit and was wounded during his service. Following his injury, music took on a new place in his life and became a tool for processing his experiences.

On October 7, he returned to the unit. Thanks to his Arabic proficiency and operational background, he took on a special role concerning hostages and missing persons throughout the rounds of fighting.

Alongside his service, he continued creating and supporting combat soldiers living with PTSD. He recently joined Fauda, initially as an Arabic translator and later as an actor.
