UAE launches water pipeline project to supply Gaza
The United Arab Emirates has initiated the construction of a critical water pipeline linking an Egyptian desalination plant to the coastal area of Al-Mawasi in southern Gaza. The project, approved by Israel's defense establishment and carried out with logistical coordination across borders, marks a significant humanitarian effort to alleviate the water crisis affecting nearly 600,000 Palestinians in the war-torn enclave. The pipeline, which will operate independently of existing Israeli water infrastructure, is designed to deliver potable water directly from Egypt into Gaza. It is being developed under the supervision of the Israeli military's Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) and was greenlit by the Israeli political echelon as a non-political, humanitarian measure. On Sunday, the first batch of construction materials, delivered by Emirati representatives, crossed the Kerem Shalom border crossing following stringent security inspections by Israel's Border Authority and Ministry of Defense. Construction is expected to begin in the coming days and will span several weeks. "This is a purely humanitarian measure, taken within the framework of cabinet decisions," said Israeli officials, emphasizing that the project does not signal a move toward rebuilding Gaza or any shift in political posture. "The connection of the pipeline does not constitute a step towards the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip," they added, aiming to quash speculation of normalization or broader reconciliation. The move comes amid a temporary humanitarian truce announced by Israel over the weekend. In parallel, Israeli authorities authorized workers from the Israel Electric Corporation to reconnect a key power line from the Ashkelon power station to Deir al-Balah. This line supports the Egyptian desalination plant already contributing to Gaza's water supply.

93 Ukrainian drones shot down overnight
Moscow - Saba: The Russian Ministry of Defense announced today Sunday that its air defense forces shot down 93 Ukrainian drones overnight. Sputnik quoted the ministry as saying in a statement: "Last night, from 11:30 PM Moscow time on July 19 to 7:00 AM Moscow time on July 20, air defense systems intercepted and destroyed 93 Ukrainian drones." The statement added: "38 drones were destroyed over the territory of Bryansk Oblast, 19 over the territory of Moscow Oblast, including 16 drones heading to Moscow, 11 drones over Kaluga Oblast, 8 drones over Tula Oblast, 5 drones over Oryol Oblast, 5 drones over Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, 3 drones over the Black Sea, 2 drones over Kursk Oblast, 1 drone over Belgorod Oblast, and 1 drone over Ryazan Oblast." Ukrainian forces target the Russian border regions of Crimea and the Belgorod, Bryansk, Kursk, Voronezh, and Rostov Oblasts with drones and missiles on an almost daily basis. Russian forces, for their part, respond by targeting exclusively Ukrainian military infrastructure, as well as facilities of the military-industrial complex and everything related to the storage, repair, or manufacture of military equipment, as well as centers for the concentration of Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel and foreign mercenaries.
