As long as Palestinians were the only victims when the Hilltop Youth did the settlers’ ‘dirty work,’ it was convenient for the religious-Zionist establishment to turn a blind eye. Now that the violence has also been directed at IDF soldiers, the ‘handful of youths’ has grown in numbers, and the international community has lost all patience – the leaders of the settler movement are struggling to come to terms with the Golem that has risen against its creator.

Medical teams in Gaza say that the situation on the ground remains dire, despite a recent Israeli policy reversal and the opening of the Strip to more humanitarian aid.

A Shomrim investigation reveals: UG Solutions, an American company operating in the Gaza Strip, is owned by Jameson Govoni, a former Green Beret. Govoni also owns multiple businesses focused on hangover prevention drinks and security services, many of which are registered to the same post office box in a quiet suburban town in North Carolina.

UG Solutions declined to respond to Shomrim’s inquiries.
