Honoring The Memory Of MDA Heroes

And Wishing You A Sweet New Year

By Yishai Mizrahi

Dear Friends,
As we approach the High
Holidays, I want to take a
moment to share the tragic
story of a brave Magen David
Adom volunteer who made
the ultimate sacrifice while
saving her fellow soldiers in
Gaza last month.
IDF St.-Sgt. Agam Naim,
a 20-year-old Magen David Adom paramedic from Kibbutz
Mishmarot, became the first female IDF soldier to fall in
combat in the Gaza Strip. She, along with three other soldiers,
was killed in a building explosion during a mission. Agam
was only days away from completing six months of service
in Gaza and had planned to instruct a paramedics course at
Bahad 10, the medical corps school. She had even renewed
her passport, preparing for a well-deserved vacation with
friends to escape the intensity of the battlefield.
