Israeli Psychological Operations Against Lebanonʹs Hezbollah

This research uses two methods, namely, ʹSurveyʹ where the Lebanese as well as Iranian scholars are interviewed, and ʹcontent analysisʹ, in order to analyze the status and role of psychological operations in Israelʹs military and political strategy, and to identify the methods, techniques, and means used by the regime in combating the paramilitary of Lebanonʹs Hezbollah. For such purpose, in the first instance, the content of a few audio and written media was analyzed, and on the basis of that, PsyOps methods and techniques on the part of the Israeli regime were extracted. Then the extent to which the scholars agreed on the extracted techniques, methods, and approaches came to be measured. The resulted data were analyzed by using computerized software SPSS and through some statistics tests (such as bionomial tests). The resulted data indicated that, firstly, Israel employs psychological operations to achieve many of itʹs political and military objectives. Secondly, it uses different methods, techniques, and means, in order to demoralize the Hezbollah adherents and forces, and to make neutral groups and countries refuse to support the organization. Thirdly, Israel is capable of meeting a few of itʹs objectives and intentions with the use of psychological operations.
