Her grandfather was taken hostage. She chose to join the system she wants to change
Noam Sapir was supposed to begin her third year of law studies through the IDF on the day her grandfather, Shlomo Mansour, was kidnapped from Kibbutz Kissufim and taken into Gaza; even after learning he was murdered in captivity, she decided to continue on the officer's track
Noam Sapir, now 23, joined the IDF’s academic reserve law program on October 6, 2021. Her grandfather, Shlomo Mansour, was kidnapped from his home in Kissufim in 2022 and was ultimately murdered in Hamas captivity. Despite the tragedy, Noam chose to remain in the program, even volunteering for roles within the system she wants to change.
After the war broke out, Noam requested to volunteer immediately for any needed role, stating that her training would provide her more influence than from the outside. She received her lieutenant’s rank at the officer training course graduation ceremony and is currently serving in the Military Advocate General’s Corps, expected to continue until October 2030.
