Netflix’s Fauda Sound Editor killed in Hamas attack

In a tragic revelation, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos confirmed the death of Lior Waitzman, a sound editor known for his work on Netflix’s Fauda and Apple TV+‘s Tehran. Lior Waitzman lost his life in the Hamas attack on Israel, which has been a topic of global concern and condemnation.

Sarandos shared the news during a session at the Bloomberg Screentime conference, acknowledging that many present in the room may have lost “friends and family or friends of family” in the recent attack on Israel. He expressed his condolences and deep sympathy for the victims of this devastating terrorist assault.

Sarandos recounted the story of Waitzman, who was involved in the sound department of Netflix’s upcoming original series, Bros. On a fateful Saturday morning, Waitzman had gone out for a bike ride. He stopped briefly to send a text to his wife, informing her about a shooting. Tragically, that was the last communication she received from him, as he became one of the victims of the terrorist attack.

Hollywood studios horrified by Hamas attacks on Israel

This marks Netflix’s first public comment on the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, which escalated when Hamas launched an attack involving around 3,000 missiles, leading to Israel’s declaration of war. Since the conflict intensified, several major media companies, including Warner Bros. Discovery, Paramount, Lionsgate, NBCUniversal, and Amazon, have issued statements denouncing Hamas’s actions and expressing support for Israel.

As of Thursday afternoon, Israel’s military reported that the Hamas attack had resulted in over 1,200 deaths and approximately 2,800 injuries, including at least 27 Americans. According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, the Israeli retaliatory strikes have claimed the lives of at least 1,417 people in Gaza, with more than 6,200 others wounded.

The tragic loss of Waitzman serves as a poignant reminder of the human toll of the ongoing conflict, and the entertainment industry has come together to mourn his passing and express solidarity with all those affected by the violence.
