Aner Elyakim Shapira (Hebrew: ענר אליקים שפירא‎; March 12, 2001 – October 7, 2023) was an Israeli who was killed during the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel.

[3] After graduating from high school Shapira attempted to enlist, but was injured at least twice prior to serving causing his service to be delayed for a little over a year.

When Hamas militants attacked the event, Shapira's commander called and told him to report to the Sufa military base;[6] however, due to shooting, he and his friends ran into a public missile shelter in Re'im at approximately 7:55 am, hiding with about two dozen other people.

[citation needed] One of the survivors hiding alongside Shapiro later noted, "Aner Shapira... saved our lives, and he deserves a medal of honor for being the angel who kept us safe".

[2] Shapira was buried on 13 October 2023 at a military cemetery on Mount Herzi,[11] and his parents released one of his original songs shortly after.
