The fifth season of the Israeli television series "Fauda," which includes episodes directly addressing the October 7 Hamas attacks, has unexpectedly climbed to the number one spot on Netflix in Lebanon. This achievement comes just two days after the new season was released on the streaming service.

The new season has entered the top ten on Netflix in 43 countries globally, ranking seventh worldwide. It holds the top position not only in Lebanon but also in Israel.
