Yadin is an actor who serves as a reservist in the Israeli military. He knows the painful reality of the Israel-Palestine conflict better than most, being on the front lines of October 7 and fighting for his life after being shot by Hamas fighters near the Gaza Strip.

Yadin shares the deep impact his experiences in the Israeli Defense Forces have on his approach to acting.

Frontline on PBS had a passable show last night. The first half highlighted the Hamas/PA split and how the community supports Hamas and their barbarism. The Palestinian Authority in the West Bank sounded just like Baghdad Bob in their assessment of the Hamas threat to them.
The second half was a good look at how Hamas overran the wall around Gaza, with two key points. One was how Israeli intelligence either ignored or downplayed the obvious Hamas build up and training. The other was Israeli overconfidence in a wall that was intended to deter individual terrorists, but was not built to contain a military assault.
