Israeli Defense Forces’ Information Operations 2006-2014 Part 1
Abstract:
This article series examines the evolution of the Israeli Defense Forces’ Information Op- eration (IO) activities during an eight-year timespan from 2006 to 2014. The case study shows a change in the Israeli Defense Forces’ activities in the information domain. It also shows that, while battles can be easily won in the physical domain of the battlefield through superior firepower, the battles in the information domain are much more complicated and require much more diverse and complex means to achieve victories. The first part of the article series describes the framework and methods of the study and two military operations conducted in 2006 and 2008-2009. The second article describes two military operations conducted in 2012 and 2014. The third article sums up the evolution of Information Operations through the comparison of all of the described operations.
