Israel’s Walla news site reports that US and Egyptian security firms will be employed to prevent arms smuggling into the northern Gaza Strip until the end of the first phase of the ceasefire deal, Al Jazeera reports.
Two US companies — Safe Search Solutions and UG Solutions — will employ armed security guards for inspections at the Netzarim Corridor, just south of Gaza City.
The firms will manage a key vehicle checkpoint along Salah al-Din Street in Gaza and facilitate the return of Palestinians to northern Gaza, the news report said.
The third company is an Egyptian security firm whose owners are associated with Egyptian intelligence, it added.
