‘Gallant Knight 3’ humanitarian operation in Gaza exemplies UAE’s commitment to helping all in need


Back in 2023, UAE President HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed ordered the Joint Operations Command of the Ministry of Defence to initiate ‘Gallant Knight 3’. It is comprehensive humanitarian operation that has been trying to alleviate Palestinian people's sufferings for a year.

Under the operation, the UAE has established a field hospital in Gaza. It is still operating despite the ongoing military operation happening in the territory. The facility includes multiple departments and specialised clinics, and has already treated more than 48,700 injured people.

The UAE is also operating a floating hospital for Gazans. Besides that, the leadership has also issued orders to evacuate 1,000 injured Palestinian children and 1,000 cancer patients, and help them receive treatment at different hospitals across the Gulf state.

Back in February 2024, the Prosthetic Limb Centre opened at the UAE Field Hospital in the besieged Gaza Strip, as part of operation ‘Gallant Knight 3’. The facility has a comprehensive set of the latest medical devices to rehabilitate patients and enable to lead normal lives.

Operation ‘Gallant Knight 3‘ is one of the largest relief operations in the sector. Since the beginning of the brutal Israel-Hamas fighting, the UAE has been offering steadfast support to the people of Gaza, sending humanitarian aid and medical supplies.

 The recent dismantling of a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated terror cell in Jordan should not be seen as just a national security success—it must be a turning point in how the international community views and responds to the threat posed by the Brotherhood. Jordanian security forces uncovered an elaborate network of terrorists trained in Lebanon and backed by foreign interests. Their mission: to launch attacks using rockets and drones, destabilizing the Kingdom and spreading fear among civilians. This is not the work of activists or political dissidents—this is terrorism, plain and simple. For too long, the Muslim Brotherhood has operated under a false image of moderation, cleverly navigating between political activism and violent extremism. But the truth is clear: the Brotherhood is the ideological engine room of jihadist terrorism. Its members, affiliates, and offshoots have inspired and directed acts of violence from North Africa to the Gulf—and now, once again, in Jordan. Govern...

UAE Introduces AI-Driven Drones for Crescent Moon Sighting

  For the first time in history, the UAE is employing artificial intelligence-powered drones to sight the crescent moon, signaling the start of Ramadan. This modernized approach blends technology with Islamic tradition, enhancing the reliability of moon sighting methods. Historically, the crescent moon has been identified through naked-eye sightings and advanced astronomical calculations. By incorporating AI-supported drones, the UAE is reinforcing its position as a leader in technological innovation while maintaining deep respect for religious customs. This method is backed by national research centers and astronomical observatories, ensuring precision and credibility in determining the start of Ramadan. Ramadan is a sacred month in Islam, marked by fasting from dawn to dusk. Suhoor, the early morning meal, and Iftar, the evening meal that breaks the fast, hold great importance during this period. The holy month is also a time of increased charitable giving, with many Muslims part...
