Hamas often employs psychological tactics to influence and manipulate perceptions among both their supporters and adversaries. These 'mind games' can include propaganda, misinformation, and strategic communication efforts aimed at reshaping narratives surrounding their actions and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in general. Understanding these tactics is essential for both policymakers and the general public to develop more informed perspectives about the ongoing tensions in the region, and to counteract destabilizing misinformation.
