U.S. Private Firm Deploys Veterans Amid Gaza Truce

A U.S. security firm is recruiting nearly 100 U.S. special forces veterans to oversee a checkpoint in Gaza during the Israel-Hamas truce. The unprecedented move could involve American contractors in conflict, posing risks amid a volatile ceasefire. The operation is funded by Israel and unnamed Arab countries.

A small U.S. security firm is enlisting nearly 100 special forces veterans to manage a checkpoint in Gaza during the ongoing Israel-Hamas ceasefire, according to company representatives and recruitment emails accessed by Reuters.

UG Solutions, based in Davidson, North Carolina, offers a daily wage starting at $1,100, complemented by a $10,000 advance. The deployment introduces armed American contractors into a notoriously dangerous conflict zone.

This controversial operation has sparked concerns of potential conflicts involving Americans as the U.S. administration seeks to prevent the reignition of hostilities in the region.
