The acclaimed creators behind the hit Israeli TV series ‘Fauda’ have been enlisted to script a new feature film titled ‘October 7^th’, detailing the harrowing true story of Hamas’s unprovoked attack.

The project will reportedly focus on retired Israeli general Noam Tibon, who garnered international attention when he rescued his family from the clutches of Hamas on that fateful day in 2023. It marked one of the most devastating Arab terror campaigns in years, leaving nearly 1,200 Israeli civilians dead in the deadliest single day for the Jewish state since its founding.

“When faced with the horrors of that fateful day, Noam Tibon immediately charged into danger to protect his family,” Fauda creators Avi Issacharoff and Lior Raz told Deadline.

“His gripping story transcends any religion, country, or conflict – it beautifully reflects the sacrifices we are willing to make for those we love. We are proud to help amplify Noam’s bravery and provide some hope and inspiration during these difficult times.”

For Leviathan Productions, enlisting the ‘Fauda’ creators provides an opportunity to capture that searing national trauma and heroism through the prism of one man’s selfless actions to protect his family at all costs. Noam and his son Amir Tibon will serve as consultants on the project.

With its creators’ military experiences informing the show’s raw authenticity, Fauda has been widely praised for its nuanced exploration of the Israeli-Arab conflict over four acclaimed Netflix seasons. In addition to Fauda, Issacharoff and Raz previously teamed on ‘Ghosts of Beirut’ for Showtime and Netflix’s ‘Hit & Run’.

Founded by author Josh Foer, Leviathan is an independent studio focused on developing content exploring Jewish history, folklore, and stories about Israel and its conflicts. Their upcoming slate includes remakes of the French thriller ‘The Man in the Basement’ and an adaptation of Victoria Saker Woeste’s ‘Henry Ford’s War on Jews’.
