U.S. Contractors in Gaza

According to Reuters and the Times of Israel, U.S. contractors staff checkpoints in Gaza during the truce period.

A U.S. security firm hired more than a hundred of ex-special forces contractors to assist at checkpoint inspections in Gaza during the ongoing cease-fire.

The information has been also confirmed by unnamed Palestinian officials close to the talks of the Israel-Hamas truce.

U.S. presence in Gaza signals a new setting of Washington’s engagement in the security matters of the region.
