(Reuters) – U.S. President Joe Biden offered condolences on Wednesday in a call with Israel’s Prime Minister Naftali Bennett a day after a Palestinian gunman killed five people in a Tel Aviv suburb, the latest in a string of fatal attacks, the White House said.

“Biden … express(ed) his deepest condolences following the horrific terrorist attacks that have killed 11 people in three Israeli cities,” the White House said in a statement.
