Among the hundreds of painful stories from the massacre at Kibbutz Be'eri, the kind, innocent and pure face of Amit Mann, 22, a paramedic who worked on the kibbutz and even trained paramedics under her, stood out.
After hours of waiting to extract every shred of information about her fate, her older sister Haviva Man issued a painful statement on Monday about Amit's murder. "That's it. It's over. It is with endless sorrow and abysmal pain that I inform you that our amazing, beautiful, brave and wise Amitosh was murdered by vile terrorists. May the memory of my little sister be blessed forever."
Amit's funeral will take place today (Tuesday) at 15:30 at the Netivot cemetery.
From the beginning of the incident on Saturday morning, Amit corresponded with friends and family and described in a chilling manner the events that took place on the kibbutz, the approach of the terrorists, their entry into the clinic and finally the injury to her and the shooting in her legs until the unbearable end.
On the Facebook page where she tried to obtain information about her sister, even before she officially learned of her death, Haviva Mann wrote: "We understand that Amit was at the kibbutz dental clinic, does anyone know if they checked at the dental clinic? Does anyone know the nurse who was there with her??? (Don't know her name)
"Updater: There is nothing new from Amit. She was not among the hostages on the kibbutz. We still don't know where she is and what about her. No official has spoken to us even once to update anything or even say that they are trying to look for her. The last time I spoke to her was at the clinic in Bari. Shot.
"My amazing sister Amit, only 22 years old, is a paramedic at Kibbutz Be'eri. Engaged in saving lives and training paramedics. Waited 6 hours!! Eternity!!! In the clinic with wounded and dead and begged them to rescue her and them. For 6 hours she hides in the kitchenette with a kitchen knife and hears the war, explosions and gunshots next to her!! 6 hours that she and we ask where is the army?? Where is the extraction? And I promise her that help is on the way, that it will be strong, that it will soon be over. 6 hours!!
Then a message from her, "They're here, they're in the clinic, I don't think I'll get out of it, I love you." Then after minutes that feel like an eternity that she doesn't respond, I try desperately, call her, she answers me by screaming that she was shot in the legs, that they murdered everyone there and she was the last, that they were on her!! I hear gunshots and the call hangs up.
From 14:15 P.M., contact with her was lost. We pray for a miracle. Hope she's alive. All the progress, the power, the technology. One big zero!! My colleagues, my love, give us a sign of life."

Her cousin, Gabriel Bokobza, eulogized her on Facebook. "It is with great sorrow and deep grief that it became clear today that Amit Mann, my talented, beautiful and wise cousin, is no more. Unfathomable. She was murdered by the sons of Satan in the massacre at Kibbutz Be'eri. Amit lived in Netivot, volunteered for years in MDA and helped hundreds of people. On Saturday, she went to save lives in Kibbutz Be'eri and was caught up in the massacre and the shocking failure that took place there. A few years ago, also on Sukkot, her beloved father David passed away. Beloved colleague, may God spread His wings over you forever."
