Amishar began his journey with Magen David Adom as a youth volunteer at the Tiberias station. After moving to Eli, he continued his service, and for about a decade, he served as an EMT, ambulance driver, and head of the volunteer team in the community. Giving was an integral part of his personality; during his life, he even donated a kidney to a stranger.<\/p>\n

Ariel Elmaliach, Chairman of the Eli community, described him as “a heart of kindness and helping others.”<\/p>\n

Amishar was born and raised in Keshet in the Golan Heights. He was an educator, a man of Torah, family, and community, who deeply loved the Land of Israel, hiking through it and discovering new springs and places.<\/p>\n

With the outbreak of the war, Amishar enlisted for reserve duty. He fell in battle in the southern Gaza Strip on March 8, 2024, while serving as a command post commander in the Commando Brigade.<\/p>\n

He was laid to rest at the Mount Herzl Military Cemetery in Jerusalem. He is survived by his parents, his wife, four sons, and a daughter.<\/p>\n

In 2026, a Magen David Adom bulletproof ambulance was inaugurated at the Eli emergency center in his memory and in memory of Nitai Meisels.<\/p>\n

May his memory be a blessing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5182,"template":"","heroes":[100],"class_list":["post-6913","thefallen","type-thefallen","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","heroes-magen-david-adom-men-and-women-who-fell-during-the-iron-swords-war"],"yoast_head":"\nMajor Amishar Ben David z"l | Magen David Adom Heroes of October 7<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Amishar began his journey with Magen David Adom as a youth volunteer at the Tiberias station.
