What to watch this week: ‘Fauda,’ ‘The Sixteenth Sheep,’ and 9/11 tributes

The fifth season of "Fauda," now streaming globally on Netflix, concludes with a funeral, reflecting the real-world costs of the Israel-Palestinian conflict. The creators, Lior Raz and Avi Issacharoff, rewrote the season after the October 7, 2023, Hamas massacre, which was more devastating than their initial concepts. The season, titled "tha'r" (blood revenge), opens two years post-October 7, with Bedouin tracker Salem seeking vengeance for his son's death and convincing Eli, who lost his family in the attack, to join him in pursuing the killer in Marseille. The narrative includes flashback episodes (seven and eight) depicting the October 7 events, released with disclaimers due to graphic violence, showing the unit's desperate attempts to save civilians amidst overwhelming chaos. The season is dedicated to crew member Matan Meir, killed in Gaza, and features Idan Amedi, who recovered from Gaza injuries. The article also briefly mentions new documentaries: "The Sixteenth Sheep: The Reunion" about an Israeli supergroup, and several 9/11 tributes, including "Windows on the World: 9/11's Forgotten Story" and Netflix's "Turning Point: Generation 9/11."
