Mr. Gershon Mesika, who on Sunday 10 Kislev prevented a stabbing attack by running over the would be female terrorist in Shomron explains he was very lucky, indicating he would not do it again. He quickly adds he is not afraid of the threats against him from Hamas appearing on social media.

He told Kikar Shabbos news “I did it without thinking. I saw the terrorist and ran her over but now I realize the soldiers could have mistaken me for a terrorist and fired at me. I was most fortunate”.

Mesika added “When you see the terrorist is about to stab someone you do not think. It could have ended differently, that I ran over a Jew [by mistake] and not a terrorist”.
