Beirut Bombed: Israel Drops Psy-Ops Leaflets
13 Mar
Summary
- Israeli planes dropped leaflets over Beirut urging citizens to disarm Hezbollah.
- Leaflets referenced Israel's 'great success' in Gaza.
- One leaflet included QR codes for contact via messaging apps.
Israeli aircraft recently dropped leaflets over Beirut, a striking psychological operation targeting the Lebanese population. These leaflets urged citizens to disarm Hezbollah, an Iran-backed militant group, and notably referenced Israel's "great success" in Gaza.
The psychological warfare campaign, attributed to Israeli military intelligence Unit 504, also included QR codes. These codes invited recipients to connect through messaging apps and social media platforms, escalating the information battle.
The leaflets appeared after days of intensified Israeli strikes in Lebanon, which have resulted in significant casualties and widespread displacement. The unusual tactic has heightened fears among Beirut residents about a potential large-scale Israeli ground invasion.
