March 20, 2018 15:41Hezbollah have launched a new video game that lets players take the part of a militant fighter in an urban combat environment.
The first-person shooter game, called Holy Defense, follows the same basic design as popular games such as Call of Duty, which are often played by gamers as young as eight or ten.
The game was launched last month in at reception in Beirut.
A press release announcing the game’s launch says Holy Defense is “not just a mere game, but a simulation aimed at documenting a stage of the holy defence facing the takfiri tide and confronting the American-Zionist project, chronicling the sacrifices made in this way.”
