New Recordings Reveal Paramedic Amit Mann's Final Moments in Kibbutz Be'eri

New, heartbreaking recordings have surfaced from October 7th, detailing the final hours of Amit Mann, a 22-year-old paramedic from Kibbutz Be'eri, who became a symbol of heroism during the Hamas attack. The recordings capture her desperate calls for help to police and MDA (Magen David Adom) as she treated the wounded under fire, with ammunition running out and terrorists at the clinic's door.

In one newly revealed conversation, Mann expresses confusion and fear, stating, "I don't understand what's happening. There are many wounded and dead here and there is still active gunfire. There are no forces that can evacuate the wounded. I think there are still terrorists still roaming." The dispatcher attempts to calm her, promising aid that is delayed, while Mann pleads, "Are you here? Just tell me you are here." Her sister, Chaviva Mann, described listening to the recording as heartbreaking, noting how Amit continued to care for the wounded after the call, providing comfort and basic aid despite the dire circumstances.

Mann was at the Be'eri dental clinic, which served as a makeshift treatment center, after 7 AM. Outside, security team members Shachar Tzemach and Eitan Haddad engaged in a prolonged firefight. Mann made seven calls to MDA and a final call to the police at 10:41 AM, reporting the infiltration and requesting urgent assistance. In one call to MDA, she stated, "I have two wounded and one dead here in the clinic right now. I don't really have equipment, but what I still have..." The dispatcher reassured her, "Okay, do what you can in the meantime. Amit, listen, you're on it, okay? You're excellent?"

Around 1:50 PM, as the security team's ammunition depleted, they suggested Mann try to surrender, hoping her role as a paramedic might spare her. She emerged with her hands raised but was shot in the leg. Dragging herself back inside, she applied a tourniquet while terrorists entered the clinic, using grenades and RPGs to kill everyone inside. Her sister Liora Mann recounted hearing Amit say, "Mom, they shot me, Mom, forgive me... I ask for forgiveness." In a final, disconnected call to her sister Chaviva, Amit reported, "Yes, they murdered everyone, only I remained, I won't survive this, they are on me."

For two and a half days, the family endured agonizing uncertainty. Her sister Liora appeared on television pleading for information. Now, two years later, the family has released these recordings, feeling stuck in a loop of that day and seeking accountability. "It's important for us to publish her, especially at this time when there are efforts to distance from the truth as time goes by," Chaviva stated. "We are not getting answers, and we are still in the loop of that day, stuck there. Almost everyone who was responsible that day is still in their position, continuing to their next election cycle. There are no apologies, no acceptance of responsibility, no lessons learned so that this doesn't happen again."
