Haim Kalomiti<\/a> and wounded five others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" album=\"true\" data-v-753a4075=\"\" data-v-45890e8d-s=\"\">The terrorist who carried out the shooting spree, Omar Yassin &#8211; a Tayibe resident and Israeli citizen in his 20s &#8211; was neutralized following a pursuit by security forces.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" album=\"true\" data-v-753a4075=\"\" data-v-45890e8d-s=\"\">In an interview with Radio Nas, Haj Yahya stated that he condemns the attack on behalf of the Tayibe municipality and its residents: &#8220;Our love for life, our commitment to coexistence, and our desire to live together in good neighborly relations mean that, ultimately, we stand united against such acts.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" album=\"true\" data-v-753a4075=\"\" data-v-45890e8d-s=\"\">According to the mayor, the mere fact that the terrorist was a resident of Tayibe holds no special significance: &#8220;The fact that the perpetrator is from Tayibe is not what matters; he could have been from any other city.
