Syrian rebels under siege in a strategic city on the Lebanese border are increasingly turning to social media to wage psychological warfare, according to Vocativ analysts monitoring the region.
The town of Al Qusayr has become ground zero in the war between rebel fighters on the one side and the joint forces of President Bashar Al Assad and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah on the other. Some of the most intense fighting has taken place there over the last few days. The New York Times reports both sides consider this battle a turning point in the larger civil war that has been raging for more than two years.
With so much at stake, Syrian rebel groups, who have been adept in the past at using Facebook, Youtube and Twitter, are now utilizing a fake twitter feed, which looks like that of Al-Manar, the official mouthpiece of Hezbollah.
