UG Solutions, a US military subcontractor that guarded Gaza Humanitarian 
Foundation (GHF) aid sites, is ramping up recruitment for a new 
deployment as plans advance for 12 to 15 distribution locations to 
reopen in Gaza next month, /Drop Site News / 
<https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/gaza-ghf-ug-solutions-aid-massacres-mercenaries-ceasefire-trump>reported 
on 19 November.

A former US Army officer, who spoke anonymously citing security 
concerns, said a UG Solutions recruiter told him in late October that 
the company “was going to need a lot more guys” for a Gaza operation 
expected to begin in early to mid-December.

The officer was offered $800 per day for static guard duty and $1,000 
for mobile roles, plus a steady allowance of $180 per day.

Days after his second round of interviews, he was informed that his 
application was rejected after UG Solutions said it had “received many 
applications” and that the selection process was “very competitive.”

GHF’s previous four sites, opened in May, were dismantled 
<https://thecradle.co/articles/ghf-dismantles-gaza-sites-where-thousands-of-palestinian-aid-seekers-killed>after 
a ceasefire on 10 October.

For over four months, thousands of Palestinians seeking food were killed 
or wounded by Israeli fire or security contractors stationed at or near 
the distribution areas.

Between May and October 2025, over 2,600 Palestinians were killed and 
around 19,000 injured in the attempt to seek life-sustaining aid from 
GHF sites across Gaza, according to the /Drop Site/ report.

UG Solutions confirmed that it is preparing for “a wide range of 
potential scenarios,” which could include an advisory presence or 
“robust security” roles linked to the newly authorized International 
Stabilization Force (ISF).

That force will fall under a Trump-chaired “Board of Peace” with 
sweeping powers over Gaza’s reconstruction, security, economic policy, 
and aid distribution.

Palestinian resistance groups have rejected 
<https://thecradle.co/articles-id/34347>the UN Security Council’s (UNSC) 
approval of the US plan for Gaza, saying it imposes a new form of 
foreign guardianship designed to disarm them and achieve the objectives 
Israel failed to impose through its genocide.

The /Drop Site/ report noted that the US initiated a separate $7-million 
contract on 25 September with Q2IMPACT to monitor humanitarian aid in 
Palestine and Lebanon.

Since their first deployment, UG Solutions’ record in Gaza became 
synonymous with lethal force rather than “security.”

Testimonies <https://thecradle.co/articles-id/31324>and videos obtained 
by AP and other sources showed subcontractors firing live rounds, stun 
grenades, and other weapons at Palestinians “even if there was no 
threat” – a pattern repeated at nearly every distribution site.

Haaretz testimonies describe GHF distribution zones as “killing fields, 
<https://thecradle.co/articles-id/31621>” where Israeli soldiers receive 
direct orders to fire tank shells, mortars, and machine guns at unarmed 
Palestinians seeking food, killing dozens each day, with commanders 
enforcing rules of engagement that treat civilians as hostile targets 
and forbid aid trucks from entering.

One UG Solutions guard resigned in July, saying he witnessed war crimes 
and crimes against humanity at aid centres he described as “death traps.”

In August, multiple outlets revealed that UG Solutions had even deployed 
members of a US biker gang with a known history of anti-Muslim hate speech.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations in North Carolina has urged 
state officials to investigate the company for its role in attacks on 
Palestinians seeking food.

Since the ceasefire took effect, Israel has continued lethal attacks and 
blocked the agreed 600 daily aid trucks, as famine conditions deepened 
across Gaza.

UN agencies report that aid delivery remains “constrained 
<https://thecradle.co/articles/un-says-aid-deliveries-in-gaza-remain-constrained-three-weeks-into-ceasefire>” 
by Israeli restrictions, damaged routes, blocked crossings, and a 
registration system that has left nearly $50 million in supplies 
stranded. Gaza officials say only 4,453 of the 15,600 trucks required 
under the ceasefire agreement have entered – just 28 percent of the 
daily aid 
<https://thecradle.co/articles/gaza-officials-warn-thousands-remain-trapped-under-rubble-say-aid-flow-critically-insufficient> needed 
to meet minimal needs.
