Transcript [00:00] The face of Amit Mann has become one of [00:02] the symbols of the failure; a 22- [00:04] year-old paramedic from Kibbutz Be'eri, [00:07] also an amateur singer, who treated the [00:09] wounded until the very last moment of [00:11] her life, when she was murdered. With [00:14] the final call, in which she [00:15] desperately begged for help. A report [00:17] by Yael Adom. They are all righteous [00:35] people. It’s already the third year [00:45] that I come to you with your shirt, the [00:47] kisses and our hugs from the last time. [00:52] The one you were wearing, whose scent [00:54] still doesn't leave me. Oh. I don’t [01:01] know how I decided on that day to call [01:03] you an angel. How I told you that you [01:08] were my angel while you blushed and [01:10] told me, "Mom, don’t exaggerate." [01:18] Three years pass and suddenly there is [01:20] something new. [01:22] >> Yes. We discovered that there is a call [01:25] from Amit. An outgoing call in the [01:27] police call log. What, what are you [01:31] talking about? [01:33] >> I didn't understand. [01:35] >> What is your name? [01:36] >> Zvi. [01:37] >> Zohavi? Listen, my name is Amit, I am a [01:39] paramedic with Magen David Adom. I am [01:41] at Kibbutz Be'eri. I don't understand [01:43] what is happening. There are many [01:45] wounded here and there are many dead [01:46] here, and there is still—there is [01:48] still shooting here, and there are no [01:50] forces that can evacuate the wounded, [01:51] and I think there are still terrorists [01:53] roaming around. These are the calls we [01:55] are receiving, what do we do? Is there [01:57] an army here? Are there police here? [01:59] What is happening? [02:01] >> We are aware, we are trying to take [02:03] control of the situation. Be calm, stay [02:07] in a safe place, don't… [02:09] >> Stay, stay inside, don't go outside. We [02:13] are on our way to take care of the [02:14] situation, all our forces are on the [02:16] way. Okay, so you want... [02:19] >> You want to be sure that we are here? [02:22] We are here, okay. Slowly, slowly, be [02:25] calm, we will try to take control of [02:27] the situation. Bye. [02:30] >> I hear this call, I hear it a lot. My [02:34] heart breaks, because I hear her [02:36] pleading and desperate and crying. So [02:41] what she does after this call—she [02:43] just pulls herself together and [02:45] continues to caress them, and encourage [02:47] them, and talk to them about their [02:49] families, and give them water. And they [02:53] are lying on the floor because there [02:55] are no beds there, so she puts helmets [02:57] under their heads, and they are cold [02:59] from blood loss, so she covers them; [03:01] and she just does everything she can to [03:03] keep them alive. [03:07] >> This last call with the police at 10:41 [03:09] AM is Amit's final attempt to try and [03:11] get help; it was preceded by seven [03:13] other calls to Magen David Adom. [03:16] >> Listen, there is—there is shooting, [03:18] they are receiving it in Be'eri, urgent [03:20] ! Some police to here, urgent, urgent! [03:23] >> Ma'am, where in Be'eri? [03:24] >> Next to the dental clinic, you [03:26] understand? With the MDA team. She is [03:39] unforgettable; one cannot help but [03:41] admire this brave young woman who, in [03:43] addition to everything she did in her [03:45] short life to treat and save people, [03:47] she sang—all the time, she sang. How [03:54] do dreams come? If suddenly an angel [04:04] appears how will they come without Amit [04:16] was dispatched to the Be'eri dental [04:18] clinic a little after seven in the [04:19] morning. Throughout the coming hours, [04:21] members of the kibbutz's standby squad, [04:23] Shahar Zemach and Eitan Hadad, are at [04:25] both entrances of the building, [04:27] engaging in a non-stop firefight with [04:29] the terrorists. Inside the clinic, [04:31] there is also Nirit, the kibbutz nurse, [04:33] and Dr. Daniel Levy; all three of them [04:36] treat the wounded. This is Amit, the [04:38] paramedic of Kibbutz Be'eri. [04:40] >> Amit? Yes, I currently have two wounded [04:43] and one dead in the clinic. [04:46] >> Two wounded and one dead. Do you have [04:49] equipment? [04:49] >> I don't really have too much equipment, [04:51] but whatever I can, I will. [04:52] >> Okay, whatever you manage to do for now [04:54] , do it, I see that there is [04:56] >> Quiet a moment Amit, listen, you're [04:58] fine, whatever you can do, you do. [05:00] >> Yes, and I think they are still active, [05:02] they're shooting, there are still shots [05:04] , there are still [05:05] >> There are still shots, okay, Amit, [05:07] you're excellent, you're doing fine, [05:09] okay, so it's okay. [05:11] >> At 1:50, Shachar and Eitan run out of [05:14] ammunition, and then, uh, they don't [05:16] know what to do. And they suggest she [05:22] go out, maybe they'll spare her life. [05:25] They say to her: She's a paramedic, [05:27] she's young, and she sort of moves [05:29] toward the opening with her hands up, [05:32] and she gets shot in the leg by a [05:33] Kalashnikov, and she screams: "They [05:36] shot me, they shot me," falls to the [05:38] floor, uh, drags herself or they...they [05:40] drag her into some inner room, and then [05:42] a few minutes later, the terrorists see [05:45] there is no return fire and they decide [05:47] to enter. And then they enter with [05:50] grenades and RPGs and Kalashnikovs, [05:52] basically murdering everyone they...you [05:54] see? Shachar, Shachar, Shachar. Please, [06:04] please, please, please, they're here. [06:11] >> Amit is in the inner room, uh, putting [06:13] a tourniquet on herself, and she is [06:15] talking to my mother and Marie, and she [06:17] says to my mother the word "sorry" many [06:20] times: "Mom, they shot me, Mom, forgive [06:22] me," she begs for forgiveness, really [06:24] repeating it. I dial her, and she [06:30] answers me. I ask her, "Amit, did they [06:32] shoot you?" And I hear shots and [06:36] shouting in Arabic in the background. [06:37] She tells me yes. They murdered [06:41] everyone, only I'm left, I won't [06:43] survive this, they're on top of me. And [06:45] I say to them, what do you mean they're [06:47] on top of you? What do you mean they're [06:48] on top of you? And the call disconnects [06:50] . That's it, since then she hasn't [06:52] answered anymore. With us is Lior Man, [07:28] who is also searching for her sister, [07:30] Amit Man. True, our whole family has [07:35] been searching since yesterday for my [07:37] little sister, Amit Man, a paramedic at [07:39] Kibbutz Be'eri. She's only 22, and [07:42] since 2:00 in the afternoon until today [07:44] , we haven't had a shred of information [07:46] ; we have no idea if she's in the [07:48] kibbutz, if she's not in the kibbutz, [07:50] if she's in Israeli territory, if she's [07:52] not in Israeli territory, if she's [07:54] alive, if she's not—we have no idea [07:56] what's happening with her. We are [07:58] empty-handed, simply in complete, [08:00] absolute, absolute, absolute [08:02] uncertainty. We have no idea what is [08:04] happening with her. Amitush, if you are [08:07] somehow alive and you see this, we are [08:09] leaving no stone unturned, my beautiful [08:11] girl. We are leaving no stone unturned, [08:14] my darling. We want to find you. We [08:18] love you. You are the light of our [08:20] lives. We are two and a half days into [08:29] trying to understand her fate. This is [08:34] the scar etched onto our souls. [08:39] >> Two people survived from the battle [08:41] that took place in the dental clinic. [08:43] Nirit Hunwald Kornfeld, from the [08:44] kibbutz, and Yair Avital, a member of [08:47] the rapid response team who was [08:48] severely wounded. Dr. Daniel Levi, the [08:51] dentist, Shachar Tzemach, Eitan Haddad, [08:54] and Gil Boyum, who fought with immense [08:56] heroism, fell during the fighting, and [08:59] with them, Amit was murdered. My [09:03] sisters and brothers, and Tzemach. [09:06] >> Our love for her only keeps growing. It [09:09] doesn't end, it keeps growing as if [09:11] she's still here. Our connection with [09:14] her continues. [09:16] >> How do you explain that? I don't know [09:19] how to explain it, but that's how it is [09:21] . [09:23] >> Nothing will hurt me, nothing. Not a [09:31] woman, not a terrorist's bullet, [09:33] nothing. [09:35] >> There's an army here, there's police [09:37] here, what is happening? [09:38] >> We are aware, we are trying to get the [09:40] situation under control. There's [09:42] shooting here, stay inside, don't go [09:45] outside. We are on our way to control [09:48] the situation. [09:50] >> Are you here? [09:51] >> Of course we are here. We are here. [09:54] Okay? [09:56] >> As much as this recording is ours and [09:58] it is private and intimate, it is [09:59] important for us to publish it. [10:05] Especially in this period where people [10:06] are trying so hard to move away from [10:08] the truth as time passes and we aren't [10:10] getting answers and we are still...in a [10:17] loop of that same day, stuck there, and [10:19] almost everyone who was responsible [10:21] that day is sitting in their position, [10:23] moving on to their next election term, [10:25] as far as they're concerned there are [10:27] no apologies, no taking responsibility, [10:29] no drawing lessons so that such a thing [10:31] won't happen again. So, this thing, [10:34] like for me, all these testimonies... [10:39] must be published. Young lives cut [10:52] short too soon.
