The Israeli Paramedic Organization said that Agam was a pioneer among female paramedics in combat roles
"Agam was at the forefront of battles in the Gaza Strip
in a role requiring a rare blend of bravery
Agam was there to fight for the lives of her fellow unit members
bearing the enormous responsibility of treating and saving lives in extremely difficult conditions."
Agam's mother wrote about her military service
"Agam was summoned to the paramedics course
We were so happy; perhaps she will become a doctor in the future
what kind of girl will I get after the war is over
and that the war will end and we will return to normal

was the eldest son of Yossi and Pnina Bakri
His sister Noa told Reshet Bet radio station on Tuesday morning that three weeks ago he was injured by shrapnel from an RPG attack
"Amit started his service in military police and when the war started he did everything to become a fighter," she said
She said that she last talked to Amit two weeks ago
but that last Friday he called his parents from Rafah
"He said that everything was fine and that they were resting
and that later in the week they would continue carrying out operations and attacks," she said

His sister Nofar was killed ten years ago in a car accident
Dotan's brother Guy told Reshet Bet radio that the family was informed of Dotan's death at midnight
after rumors had already spread about an incident involving his company
Dotan was injured during fighting a few weeks ago and returned to Gaza
Guy said that Dotan was supposed to leave Gaza at the beginning of the week
but that at the last minute his stay was extended until Thursday
"I told him to be careful because the last two days are the most dangerous
and he said it was bad luck to say that," Guy said
we can't comprehend that there's a scenario in which Dotan is no longer with us."
"Dotan was the best brother you could ask for
he did a year of social service before the army
"He said that it wasn't easy to go in [to Gaza] so many times
I dropped him off at the base," Guy said of Dotan
adding that when he told him he was deliberating whether to go to the officers' course
'It's a shame you'll increase your chances of dying
leave something for your parents,' because we've already lost a sister
there was a debate about whether [he should] enlist in a combat role
Yehuda Mimon lit one of six torches at the State Opening Ceremony of Holocaust Remembrance Day at Yad Vashem in 2019
Yehuda Mimon (né Waserman) was born in Krakow
Yehuda went to the Jewish school and the Hebrew Gymnasium in Krakow
where he was a member of a Zionist youth group
some two months after the Germans occupied Krakow
the city’s Jewish schools were closed and formal Jewish education went underground
were divided into groups of five pupils each and the teachers visited the groups house by house
teaching them to immigrate to Eretz Israel and holding social events
Yehuda joined the Akiva youth group and kept up his activities even after the Krakow ghetto was established in March 1941
he joined the pioneer underground group Hehalutz Halohem (The Fighting Pioneer)
He was in charge of signaling for the command center
and he performed various missions on the orders of Aharon "Dolek" Liebeskind and Shimshon Draenger
The dangerous actions that he carried out included sneaking Hehalutz Halohem operatives into the ghetto
Yehuda’s mother and brother were transferred to the Plaszow labor camp
Yehuda and other resistance members received orders to aid in an assault on the Cyganeria café in Krakow
German soldiers and officers were killed in the attack
He was imprisoned and deported to Auschwitz in April 1943
he labored in a workshop and joined the camp's communist underground
the President of Poland awarded him the honorary Auschwitz Cross for his resistance activity in Auschwitz
Yehuda and five of his comrades escaped the death march from Auschwitz and went into hiding until they were liberated
and became active in the Bericha organization
which smuggled Jewish refugees into Eretz Israel
Yehuda immigrated to Eretz Israel with Aviva Lieberman
He served in the Israel Navy after the state became independent
Yehuda was sent to Poland as First Secretary of the Israeli embassy in Warsaw
and in 1968 he was reassigned to Vienna as special envoy for Polish and Soviet Jews who wanted to immigrate to Israel
Yehuda completed his military service with the rank of lieutenant colonel
and he opened a chip processing plant in the Haifa Bay after he was discharged

We were overjoyed – maybe she'd become a doctor someday
She graduated with honors and was assigned to the Armored Corps
she was already in Gaza with the Engineering Corps
Life changed; I suddenly experienced panic attacks that came without warning."
but one day it happened at the kindergarten
I wasn't prepared; she wasn't supposed to deploy for a few more days
may the hostages come back soon – but very soon
the most beautiful girl in kindergarten – the purest
No one to protect the soldiers and treat them
"You were the little sister in the family but always acted as if you were a decade ahead of everyone
We always laughed about how they mixed up our ages
You had such an aura that everyone in the room would smile when you entered
recounted with anguish: "Agam was a paramedic
assigned to an armored battalion after finishing her course
She's the youngest – the youngest of three."

They took the most exceptional one," Mariel continued

The commander told her she didn't have to return and could stay home before starting her instruction role
She said she didn't want to leave without saying goodbye to her comrades
The Paramedics Organization also paid tribute: "The Paramedics Organization mourns the fall in battle of Agam Naim
a combat paramedic in the 52nd Battalion of the Armored Corps
one of the pioneers serving as a paramedic in a combat role
stood at the front lines of the battles in the Gaza Strip in a position requiring a unique combination of courage
Agam was there to fight for the lives of her unit comrades
carrying an enormous responsibility to treat and save lives in the most challenging field conditions
we must remember that it is only thanks to our finest daughters and sons
that the citizens of Israel sit safely in their land

and even completed a final project in social sciences
Agam was active in the boarding school and youth society of Mevo'ot Iron and was also a member and counselor in the Hashomer Hatzair youth movement."

Mc Mimo may not appear on screen for 1,000 years
but former teens just need to hear her name to keep up with "Mc Mimo
who years ago became very famous in Top Fest 2 with the song "Na Jem" together with Viagra
Although he has been away from music for years
Albanians continue to remember him as one of the first and most popular rappers of that time
works in a private business and as she said herself: "her life has never been better than now".
Asked why she broke away from music at the height of her success
"I started it in 2003 and I finished it at the end of 2005
Then I stopped because I realized I was going to be a mother
I found family more interesting than career and I left my career aside."
Mc Mimo said he is open to collaborations and would not say no to a good offer
we continue to remember with nostalgia "Na Jem".

These aren’t just staples of the Czech diet–they’re among 100+ different kinds of ice cream that you can sample at gourmet ice cream parlor Ralsko in Mimoň
outside of Česká Lípa in the Liberec region of the Czech Republic
Ralsko has become a destination stop in the small town of Mimoň during the summer months
with a unique lineup of ice cream flavors that few other parlors in the country can compete with
named for the traditional Hungarian sausage that it is made with
“It’s better than sex,” proprietor Ivana Jablonovská, who has been making ice cream since 2000, jokingly tells Právo
She’s quick to point out that sausage and other varieties are not artificial flavors
but real ingredients the ice cream is made with
“These aren’t ‘flavors’; these are the ingredients that the ice cream is really made from.”
Ralsko’s sausage ice cream in Czech newspaper Právo
Other ingredients used to concoct the unique flavors at Ralsko include mustard
But the Hungarian sausage has been a best-seller this year
“There’s been a great response to the Čabajková,” says Jablonovská
“You can have [a scoop of] bread and sharp mustard with it
and it’s a real hit.” The mustard ice cream
Ralsko produces between 280 and 350 liters of ice cream
They have so many flavors to offer that they can’t all be displayed
we can no longer fit them all into the showcase
[In total] we have already produced 427 different kinds.”
If you’re looking for some sausage ice cream without making the journey to Mimoň
Čabajková is among 15 flavors of ice cream that Jablonovská has patented with the Czech Industrial Property Office
Ralsko’s Hungarian sausage ice cream may not even be the strangest ice cream to come out of the Czech Republic in recent years. Other contenders include an ice cream made from smelly Olomouc cheese, and a coal-black ice cream made with goat’s milk
If you can’t get to Ralsko this summer, check out our list of the top ice cream parlors in Prague for tips on where to get the best flavors in the Czech capital
