Today, the dental clinic in Kibbutz Be’eri was demolished—the very place where Amit Man, of blessed memory, a dedicated Magen David Adom paramedic, fought for the lives of her wounded patients until her last breath.
Today, I write on a personal note, as someone who carries the pain of loss in his heart and holds infinite gratitude for the heroes who risked everything to save lives.
The farewell to the dental clinic in Kibbutz Be’eri is not merely the closing of a physical chapter. It is a painful and chilling reminder of the tragedy of October 7 and the bravery of those who acted within it.
If the walls could speak, they would tell us of the heroism of Magen David Adom paramedic Amit Man, of blessed memory, just 22 years old, who treated the injured until her last breath. They would recount the dedication of Dr. Daniel Levi Ludmir, of blessed memory, both of whom were brutally murdered while caring for the injured, by merciless terrorists.
If these walls could speak, they would tell of the moments when they risked their own lives to save others, of the unimaginable strength of spirit that filled that place during its darkest hours.
We also remember the wounded who were murdered in defiance of every moral principle and the members of the emergency security response team who bravely defended the clinic.
Since that day, thousands of visitors have come to the clinic, covering its walls with words of love, pain, remembrance, and gratitude. Every letter written there carries a promise—that we will never forget.
Above all, today, we remember their faces, their light, the dreams that will never be fulfilled, all that they could have given to the world. But we also remember their legacy—to do everything in our power to save lives.
And we, at Magen David Adom, will continue to uphold this legacy, at the forefront of life-saving efforts, wherever and whenever we are needed.
May their memory be a blessing.
–Eli Bin, Magen David Adom director-general
