The terrorist who carried out the shooting in the Kochav Ya’ir area is identified by Israeli security officials as a resident of Tayibe, an Arab city just north of where the attack took place.
According to an image from the scene, the terrorist used a makeshift “Carlo,” also known as the Carl Gustav, submachine gun.
The shooter was “neutralized” and captured by security forces, the IDF and police said. Security forces are searching for a second possible attacker.
