Fauda Season 1 Episodes 2-8

Turning out to be pretty good.  Hamas captures Doron's brother-in-law (Boaz).  Pretty doctor who Doron is keen on is forced to insert a bomb in Boaz.  Exchange is arranged.  Hamas blows up Boaz. Doron, in reprisal, blows up the Sheik who was to be exchanged.  "The Panther" daughter is injured.

Israelis take her to Hadassah hospital.  Her mother--furious with her husband for his activities--visits her there.  should she transfer her to Palestinian hospital? Dilemma. Eye injury.

Doron and his team, failures, are out . . . but they  must get back in, or the show is over.
