Israeli singer and fighter Idan Amedi revealed on Wednesday the last photo he took on his phone, the day before the October 7th Hamas attack. The picture shows his young daughter on his shoulders, a stark contrast to the images that followed.
Amedi described scrolling through his gallery after the attack, finding dozens of photos and videos documenting the horrors: "The burning cars, civilians lying lifeless on the roadside, Kfar Aza, Be'eri, tunnels, friends who are no longer here. One day from these bright skies to three years of pain and longing."
He addressed the bereaved families, thanking them for their sacrifice, stating, "Because of you we are here, we get to lift our children on our shoulders and see skies and fireworks. Because of your loved ones, because of their courage and the values you instilled in them, we will forever be indebted to you, we will forever remember."
Amedi, who served as a combat engineer in Gaza, was severely injured during operations and underwent a complex rehabilitation process. He has since returned to performing and creating music. Earlier this year, approximately two years after his injury, he returned to active reserve duty in an operational role.
