No, Fauda was not filmed in Lebanon. While the show depicts the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and its setting is often assumed to be Lebanon, most of the filming took place in Israel.
The producers of Fauda made a conscious decision to film in Israel for several reasons:
- Security: Filming in Lebanon would have posed significant security risks for the cast and crew.
- Logistics: Israel offered better infrastructure and logistical support for the production.
- Authenticity: Although not filmed in Lebanon, the show's creators used locations in Israel that closely resemble the landscapes and urban environments of Lebanon.
While some scenes were filmed in Jordan and Morocco to represent certain locations in Lebanon, the majority of the show was filmed in Israel.
