Fear as a weapon.
In this cognitive war, some are bearded and some are beardless - but the battlefield is the same.
A 40-year veteran of 25 years at the front tells how fear itself is activated: staged videos of fallen cities, 70,000 people fleeing their homes, the doctrine of “scare them and win. ".
From Syria to Yemen to the Strait of Hormuz, he describes the war behind the headlines - 6,000 Hezbollah martyrs, 72-hour guard posts on the southern line, soldiers who remain thirsty and do not turn back.
And he put the real goal: a nation told its defenders surrendered when they didn't surrender.
Cognitive warfare, he says, kills the people's trust - and the soldiers holding the line deserve more than the story told about them.
