Hibrit Savaşın Stratejik İletişim Cephesi: 7 Ekim Sonrası İsrail Resmi Anlatılarında ve Batı Medyasında Dezenformasyonun İnşası

Öz

Bu çalışma, 7 Ekim 2023 sonrası İsrail–Filistin bağlamı üzerinden dezenformasyonun modern çatışmalardaki stratejik rolünü incelemektedir. Dezenformasyon, askerî ve istihbarî hedeflerle bütünleşmiş çok boyutlu bir güvenlik aracı olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. İsrail’in resmî açıklamaları ve Batı medyasının analizi üç stratejiyi ortaya koymaktadır: operasyonların meşrulaştırılması, sivil kayıpların Hamas’a atfedilmesi ve İsrail’in terörle mücadele eden aktör olarak konumlandırılması. Bu söylemler, istihbarî açıdan rakipleri itibarsızlaştırma ve müttefik desteğini pekiştirme amacını taşırken askerî açıdan eylemleri psikolojik harp yoluyla meşrulaştırmıştır. Batı medyası başlangıçta İsrail’in söylemlerini büyük ölçüde yankılayarak dezenformasyonu güçlendirmiş, ancak daha sonra sivil kayıplara odaklanarak dezenformasyonun kırılganlığını açığa çıkarmıştır. Çalışma, dezenformasyonu yalnızca iletişimsel değil; askerî planlama, istihbarî öncelikler ve diplomasiye yön veren çok katmanlı bir stratejik araç olarak konumlandırmaktadır.

The Strategic Communication Front of Hybrid Warfare: The Construction of Disinformation in Israeli Official Narratives and Western Media After October 7

Öz

This study examines the strategic role of disinformation in modern conflicts through the Israel–Palestine context after October 7, 2023. Disinformation emerges as a multidimensional security tool integrated with military and intelligence goals. Analysis of Israeli statements and Western media reveals three strategies: legitimizing operations, attributing civilian harm to Hamas, and framing Israel as combating terrorism. Narratives served intelligence aims of discrediting opponents and reinforcing allies, while militarily legitimizing actions through psychological warfare. Western media initially echoed Israeli accounts, amplifying disinformation, but later highlighted civilian costs, exposing its fragility. The study concludes that disinformation is not only communicative but a layered strategic instrument shaping military planning, intelligence, and diplomacy.
