There are some phone calls you remember for the rest of your life. And for Lior Raz, it came in the early morning of October 7, 2023.

The Israeli actor, one of the nation's biggest stars who helped create Netflix's smash-hit espionage drama Fauda, listened helplessly from a Romanian hotel room as his sister described being trapped in the shelter of a kibbutz near the Gaza border as rockets rained down.

Some 1,000 miles away from the devastating events unfolding in his home country, and spared the news of Hamas's deadly massacre until that moment, he could barely comprehend what he was hearing.

'My sister said: "Lior, you need to save me because I'm with my kids at the shelter. There are terrorists around us",' recalls Raz, 54, speaking exclusively to The Mail on Sunday.

'I didn't know what she was talking about... She said: 'Look at your camera. Look at your phone. Look at your TV.' And then I saw all those horrible videos that we have all seen.'

Millions of fans of Fauda around the world, of course, will know Raz as Doron Kavillio from the explosive political thriller. The character is one of Israel's elite undercover commandos, defined by a relentless drive to hunt down enemy forces - sometimes at the expense of his own family life.

The show, now in its fifth season since first airing in 2015, became an international sensation because of its dizzying plot twists, bloodshed, betrayals and brutal undercover missions.

Lior Raz, who stars in Fauda and is one of Israel's most famous actors, has told the Daily Mail of the harrowing phone call he received from his sister on October 7
