Shabbat shalom 🙏🏻
These are our heroes - Zvika Lerer, an MDA EMT and first response, performed successful CPR this week and saved the life of a 70-year-old patient.
Thanks to Zvika, the patient will spend Shabbat with his family. And today, just a few hours ago, Zvika arrived with an MDA motorcycle and helped a woman give birth right on the road, in her car.

🚨 22-Year-Old Man Murdered in Shooting Attack at Shopping Center Parking Lot Near Gush Etzion Junction
At 14:23, a report was received at Magen David Adom’s 101 emergency dispatch center in the Jerusalem region about a victim of a shooting attack in the parking lot of a shopping center near the Gush Etzion Junction.
Large MDA forces, including ambulances, mobile intensive care units, and medicycle first responders, were immediately dispatched to the scene. MDA paramedics pronounced a 22-year-old man dead at the scene with gunshot wounds. The two terrorists were neutralized by IDF soldiers and other security personnel on site.
MDA Paramedic Achiad Goharyan was the first to arrive at the scene.
“We received a report of a man injured in a shooting attack and immediately rushed to the scene in large numbers. We saw a young man lying in the parking lot, unconscious, without a pulse and not breathing, with gunshot wounds on his body. We performed medical assessments, but unfortunately, his injuries were critical and we had no choice but to pronounce him dead.”

Four lives lost. One family destroyed.
EMT and high school teacher Manal Hejazi had just finished her shift with Magen David Adom when a rocket from Iran struck Tamra. She rushed to the scene and found two close friends and their daughters killed. One was her daughter’s classmate.
“Arabs, Jews, we are all in pain. The rockets are reaching everyone. Having this chance to save lives is an opportunity that not everyone will get to have in his life.”
We remember the victims. We honor the first responders. And like Manal, we keep showing up to save lives.

Itay Mason, of Netanya, may be just 16, but he’s already recovered from a life-threatening injury.
During the recent missile attacks from Iran, Itay was with his dad, driving in Haifa, when they received a phone alert that a siren would sound within minutes, warning of a potential missile hit.
With no time to spare, they ran to an underground parking lot, but the missile fell right near them, seriously injuring them from the impact and shrapnel. Seeing his son bleeding out, Itay’s father tried stopping the blood with his shirt, but it was clear that they needed emergency medical help.
Luckily, two “warriors in white” were on their way. MDA EMT Dalia Farihat had also been caught on the road, where she lay down on the sidewalk until the missile passed. As soon as she could get away, she raced to the scene and began caring for the Masons, expertly tending to Itay’s injury.
At the same time, MDA paramedic Ahmed Zidan was exiting the safe room of his house, where he had been huddled with his family. The Zidan family was safe, though their home was damaged by the missile.
However despite surveying that loss, Ahmed took a MICU on standby and joined Dalia to help treat Itay and his father and transport them to hospital, with help from additional MDA teams.
When Itay recovered and was released from the hospital, he knew exactly who he wanted to embrace warmly - Dalia and Ahmed.
"Thank you. You are heroes,” he said.
