Montgomery spoke with Israel’s Channel 2 news about the attack. "I had just sat down to play my guitar near the ocean when I heard screams from down the road," he explained. "He [the terrorist] jumped on the bench yelling at me and trying to stab me so I grabbed my guitar and hit him over the head with it. "He was so stunned and didn't know what to do with himself and then started running away." Two police volunteers then shot and killed the terrorist. Ed Deir, from Philadelphia, read about Montgomery's quick reaction to an approaching terrorist and set up a GoFundMe account, explaining: "I Ed Dvir of Philadelphia will speak to Yishai to find out which guitars he wants and will purchase them on his behalf in America and will deliver them to him when I go to Israel."
