Abstract

The struggle of Hezbollah against Israel is a striking case study of applying psychological warfare techniques and guerillas forcing their will on them that can provide an explanation as well as similar conflicts against radical Islam. The structure of PSYOP plan adopted by Hezbollah is outlined, their messages to the selected target audiences are detailed, and the unique doctrine is developed and executed, which eventually led to Israel's withdrawal from southern Lebanon.
