Lebanese army conducts psychological warfare training with US team

The Lebanese army command has announced it is taking part in psychological warfare training and exercises in cooperation with an American team.

The operation is being held “as part of expertise exchange and joint training with specialized teams,” it said.

The military activity comes at a time of political stalemate in Lebanon. There has been conflict between Prime Minister-designate Najib Mikati and President Michel Aoun over mutual accusations of hindering the formation of a new government.
