Unconventional warfare like we have seen recently with Hamas' attack on Israel is led by disinformation and a quest to dominate the narrative. These are integrated into physical operations, into asymmetric warfare, into terrorism and into information warfare. The strategy begins before hostilities start and seeks to set the agenda for leaders and their publics, their militaries and geopolitics.
