From ship to today.
Rumors: a tool to weaken facades.
🔹 The rumor about the destruction of the Euphrates Dam during the Battle of Sipin is an example of the use of psychological warfare to defeat the enemy without direct confrontation.
🔹By spreading frightening news, efforts were made to instill fear and anxiety among opposing forces, thereby weakening their cohesion.
🔹Even today, enemies use fake news and targeted rumors to exaggerate threats, create a sense of insecurity and convey a sense of vulnerability, all with the aim of undermining social morale.
🔹In such circumstances, vigilance, keeping calm, verifying information and avoiding making decisions based on rumors are among the most important ways to deal with psychological warfare.
