Special Force (Arabic: القوة الخاصة, romanized: Al-Quwwa al-Khāṣṣa) is a 2003 first-person shooter produced by the Central Internet Bureau of Hezbollah, a Lebanese Islamist militant group.

Special Force 2: Tale of the Truthful Pledge, a sequel based on the 2006 Lebanon War between the same sides, was released in August 2007 to limited success.

[1][2] The game recreates several Hezbollah operations that occurred during the conflict, including their geographic locations, weather conditions, land mine arrangements, and number of combatants.

[6][7] In combat, the player uses a knife, a pistol, Kalashnikov rifles, and hand grenades against Israeli soldiers and their Merkava tanks and Boeing AH-64 Apache helicopters.

[3][9] While the group had years of experience releasing software and maintaining websites, including media about the conflict, this project was their first video game.

[11] According to one Central Internet Bureau official, Mahmoud Rayya, it was designed to counter foreign video games that present Arabs as enemies to be defeated by American heroes.

[13] Lebanese children interviewed by several media outlets expressed their affection for the game as it allowed them to kill Israelis, something they could not do in real life.

[5] From a technical standpoint, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung noted the game could not compete with Western releases, lagging behind by roughly two years, and had compatibility issues on newer versions of Windows.

[9][12] Ron Prosor, a spokesman for the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, called it "part of an educational process which is preventing any chance of real peace" between Israel and Lebanon.

[9][11] The New York Times characterised Special Force as part of Hezbollah's propaganda efforts in Lebanese media to establish itself as a popular entity.
