He noted that the city will address the incident as part of the education system.
"There is tension in the air, all our students' trips have been canceled, and I have landed in the letter all school principals to address the issue. There are people who did not go to work today for fear, and there is also fear that people will not come to our businesses "It could happen. We will do everything to make them feel safe, and that it will not affect."
Mahamid added that he had talked to heads of nearby authorities following the attack.
"I spoke with the heads of the local authorities in the area in the present and in the past, also with Hadera, [Regional Council] Menashe, etc. We are determined: a handful cannot interfere with our normative life together."

"It was unpredictable. We are heading towards Ramadan and after two years of Corona were full of social programs for events, Iftar meals and hospitality of Jews and tourists coming into the city, for Ramadan night events planned in the city, for a week of tolerance announced by the mayor just a few days ago. These will go down the drain, "he says," the feeling is that we have gone back unfortunately. "
"Just yesterday there was a football game, the team was accompanied by hundreds of fans who went to Kafr Qassem. We won and there was optimism and elation in the city, and a little later came the reports that these are our townspeople. It's depressing," Jabarin said.
"We young people will continue to integrate into Israeli society, we will learn, educate, integrate and work in Israeli society to bring prosperity to our society and our city. It has never been easy, and this event only strengthens it and emphasizes it."
