Morning update

Good morning Middle East Eye readers, 

Here are some of the latest updates from Israel's war on Gaza: 

An Israeli air strike that targeted tents sheltering displaced Palestinians killed on Friday morning five people, including three women and a child, in southern Gaza, according to Al Jazeera.

A Palestinian man was arrested by Israeli forces after raiding the occupied West Bank city of Nablus, in the late hours of Thursday, according to the Quds News Network.

In Syria, local sources told Al Jazeera on Friday morning that tribal forces are stationed around the southern city of Sweida, and are engaging in clashes with armed groups.

The Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani made a phone call with Syrian interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa affirming his support for Syria's unity and territorial integrity, and condemned the Israeli attacks on several parts of Syria.

The White House said the US did not support the Israeli strikes in Syria and called on the Syrian government to lead the path forward.
