​​A hero kibbutz security guard has described how he battled Hamas terrorists despite being shot in the groin – and listened helpless as they killed a female paramedic in cold blood. Father-of-three Yair Avital, 38, had been woken by the sounds of explosions and alarms at the now infamous kibbutz Be’eri in southern Israel just three miles from Gaza. Desperate to protect his family and the other residents, he joined other security staff in a heroic eight-hour battle on October 7 that left dozens dead and himself seriously injured. Several of his team were killed, and another victim was paramedic Amit Mann, 22, who bravely tried to convince Hamas terrorists - who had surrounded the kibbutz dental clinic - to stop shooting.
