Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu mobilised police and army reserves Friday after separate attacks killed three people, including an Italian tourist, in the West Bank and Tel Aviv, in the latest escalation of deadly violence.

Israeli troops killed 11 Palestinians, including at least four gunmen and four civilians, and wounded more than 100 people during a Wednesday raid on a city in the occupied West Bank, witnesses, militant groups and medical officials said.

Six Palestinians were killed and dozens shot in a raid by the Israeli military Wednesday on the occupied West Bank city of Nablus, the Palestinian health ministry said.

Netanyahu said earlier Sunday during a meeting of his government he wanted to "strengthen settlements", which are illegal under international law.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday expressed concern over the plight of people's deposits in banks, post offices and the LIC, claiming that the existence of such institutions might be at stake in future.

The Monday raid was aimed at arresting "the Hamas terrorist squad that carried out the shooting attack" on January 28, when two armed men approached an Israeli restaurant near Jericho, the army said.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday alleged that the BJP was using people's money deposited with the Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) and nationalised banks to benefit some of its party leaders.

The latest deaths bring the number of Palestinians killed in the West Bank so far this year to 30, including fighters and civilians, most of whom were shot by Israeli forces.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken will travel next week to Israel, the West Bank and Egypt where he will urge an end to violence after a deadly Israeli raid, the State Department said Thursday.

Israeli forces in the West Bank killed 10 Palestinians Thursday, officials in the occupied territory said, nine of them in a raid the Israeli military described as a "counterterrorism operation".

Israeli forces killed three Palestinians on Thursday in the flashpoint city of Jenin, in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian health ministry said.
