This thesis explores the growing role of social media in modern conflicts, focusing on the Syrian and Ukrainian cases. It examines how various actors, including governments, opposition groups, and extremist entities, leverage social media for propaganda, recruitment, and intelligence purposes. The study also highlights the potential of social media in shaping public opinion, decision-making processes, and peacebuilding efforts. The integration of social media with physical warfare signifies a new paradigm in conflict dynamics, where digital platforms become crucial battlefields.
