Capt. (res.) Meni Kalchheim, who was stabbed in the back in the attack in Beit Aryeh, told Kan Reshet Bet on Monday morning about the moment he spoke to the terrorist who stabbed him. "Whoever raises his hand against a Jew will have no life and his judgment in hell. This land is ours and we will continue to live here. Whoever wants to die should go somewhere else,'" Kalchheim told the terrorist moments after the attack.
"I went out that day for an activity in the south and had just returned home with my wife. I went into the store at the Rantis gas station and saw a figure walking around behind me. I was facing the salesman, buying coffee, and suddenly I felt a strong stab in the center of my back. I started running after the terrorist, as a combat soldier I was in the 'Charge forward' automaton. I shot what I could and tried not to hurt others," Meni told Kan Reshet Bet.

"The terrorist managed to get the knife out of my back, but I felt hot and wet there. I asked the soldiers who came to the scene to look at the wound. They told me that all my Medi B was red. I realized they would have to evacuate me. The soldiers of the Brigade blocked the bleeding on the spot."
When Kalchheim returned from treatment at the hospital, he saw the convoy of security forces with the captured terrorist and spoke with him. "After the evacuation to the hospital and the tests, I preferred to go home and be with my family. I ran into the soldiers, went up to them to thank them and asked for an interpreter to convey the message to the terrorist.
