Murdered in Kibbutz Be’eri on October 7

Magen David Adom paramedic and paramedic course instructor Amit Mann, 22, was murdered by Hamas terrorists when they stormed the clinic in Kibbutz Be’eri where she was treating the wounded from the devastating attack from Gaza on October 7.

Mann was trapped in the clinic with the injured and dead for many hours before the terrorists succeeded in breaking in.

A resident of Be’eri, Mann was buried in the cemetery in Netivot. The funeral was attended by hundreds of her family members, friends and colleagues.

“Amit sacrificed herself while trying to protect the lives of the patients. her priority was only what was best for them. Her untimely passing left us shocked and in pain,” said MDA director-general Eli Bin.

“Magen David Adom cherishes all that Amit has done, and our employees and volunteers bow their heads and hug her family. May her memory be blessed,” said Bin.

Mann’s fellow paramedic and best friend Oshrit Haddad said she could always be depended upon. “Amit was someone who was simply always there, you could always trust her. On Saturday she continued to help patients under fire and tried to save their lives. She fought for their lives until the last moments,” said Haddad.
