Overview

  • BBC reporting identified at least 10 Infidels Motorcycle Club members on UG Solutions’ Gaza security team, with at least seven in senior posts and the group helping recruit about 40 more U.S. veterans among roughly 320 staff.
  • UG Solutions confirmed Johnny “Taz” Mulford, described by the BBC as the Infidels MC leader and a former U.S. sergeant previously accused of bribery-related offenses, serves as its country team leader in Gaza.
  • UG Solutions said it conducts extensive background checks, does not hire people with criminal records, and does not screen for personal affiliations, while calling Mulford a trusted figure with decades of experience.
  • The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation said it enforces zero tolerance for hateful or discriminatory conduct, as the program’s security posture draws heightened scrutiny.
  • The Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry reports more than 2,300 people killed near aid sites since May; earlier AP reporting alleging contractors used live rounds and stun grenades is disputed by the GHF, and a senior Israeli officer has acknowledged Gazans were killed by Israeli shelling.
