Cont.
Neta was hit by even more bullets in the leg and in the hand.
"Santiago screamed at me: 'Please stand up - start to run. If you don't stand up, we're going to die. We're going to die.'"
Santiago managed to carry her to safety two streets away where they hid under a big pile of rubbish, trying to stay as quiet as possible.
As Santiago silently used his shirt to try to stem the blood escaping from Neta's legs, she managed to message her dad again.
Also in the hospital and sitting by his daughter's side, Shimon Portal tells me what it was like to receive that message.
"My heart stopped. My brain started to whirl. I was mad."
The plain-clothes policeman was already on his way to Kfar Aza, but when he eventually arrived in his unmarked car, gunmen opened fire and he responded.
Shimon reversed as bullets peppered his vehicle, and he managed to drive away.
He composed himself and then attempted to make a second attempt to rescue his daughter.
This time, all was quiet, so he called out for Neta.
"Suddenly, three children ran to my car because they had heard me shouting in Hebrew. And I opened the door. They started to get in the front, but two terrorists came out of the houses and shot at us."
Shimon says he was able to escape with the three girls.
He didn't know where his daughter lived, but made his way to the location she sent him.
Then he found her. He put Neta in the back of his car, and together with Santiago who'd also been shot in the leg, they drove to the nearest hospital.
A reunion of father and daughter in the midst of one of the most gruesome attacks Israel suffered.
Now, in the ward, Shimon looks at his daughter, in her hospital gown.
"My beautiful daughter. I have got her back."
