Social Media Has Become a Battlefield in Modern Warfare, Egyptian Expert Says

Social media platforms have become one of the arenas of modern warfare, according to Colonel Hatem Saber, an expert in international counterterrorism and information warfare.

Saber’s assessment places digital platforms within the wider landscape of conflict, rather than treating them solely as channels for communication.

His remarks highlight the information dimension of modern warfare, in which the online sphere has become part of the battlefield.

The central point of his assessment is that understanding contemporary conflict requires looking beyond physical combat zones to the spaces where information circulates.
