Amos Horev was born in Jerusalem on June 30, 1924. His father, Alec, was director of the mechanical workshop of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. As a teenager he was among the founders of the Zionist youth movement Gordonia in Jerusalem. He studied at the gymnasium and from the age of 14 was a member of the Haganah. He fought against Arabs during the 1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine. He was appointed as an officer in 1940 and was one of the first recruits to Palmach when it was founded in 1941. During the war of independence he participated in many battles in the Jerusalem area and toward the end of the war was assistant to Yitzhak Rabin.

He later attended MIT, where he studied mechanical engineering.[11]

He was President of Technion University from 1973 to 1982, replacing Alexander Goldberg and succeeded by Josef Singer.[12]
