**US Company to Send Armed Workers to Egypt Border**
A US company, UG Solutions, is sending staff to work at a checkpoint on the Egyptian border with Gaza. These workers will be armed and will help manage who can cross into or out of Egypt.
The staff are not being sent as part of a military mission and will not have the power to detain people. They are simply there to make sure that only safe vehicles and people can pass through the checkpoint.
Despite this, the staff will be carrying weapons such as assault rifles and sniper rifles, according to an internal document from UG Solutions. This has raised concerns about their role in the area.
**Background: Israel-Gaza War**
This move comes at a time of heightened tension between Israel and Hamas, which controls Gaza. The conflict has led to increased security measures on borders in the region.
