WANA (Oct 29) – Israeli and Western media have sought to amplify Israel’s recent attack by leveraging cognitive warfare. Known as “cognitive warfare,” this approach blurs the line between truth and semi-truth, diminishing the boundary between lies and reality.

 

Through ambiguity created by media channels, cognitive warfare aims to induce mental confusion, attempting to transform fictional events into tangible realities.

 

Cognitive warfare, an advanced form of soft warfare, relies heavily on the influence of cyber-media, creating a so-called “post-truth” environment. In this space, objective realities become overshadowed by public emotions, exerting pressure on rational thought.

Likewise, Frank McKenzie, former U.S. General and ex-Commander of CENTCOM, labeled the operation as minor and disgraceful.

 

Despite this, the intense opposition media atmosphere, as well as the role of certain public figures in stirring public opinion, has greatly influenced societal sentiment. Even if no immediate response to Israel’s actions occurs, given the ongoing deconstruction and groundwork laid, the likelihood of repeated provocations by Israel remains.

 

A decisive and destructive response could potentially bring an end to Israel’s continuation of such actions.
