Summary/Abstract: The new communication technologies provide militant organisations in the Middle East a medium to transmit their messages. Generally, the purpose of broadcasting is informing and/or manipulating propaganda. In the context of Arab-Israeli conflict, organisations, such as Hezbollah's military arm, "The Islamic Resistance", embed their media discourses with frames. Although the current studies have uncovered the ideology of Hezbollah, it seems there is a dearth in research about the utilised linguistic frames in the media discourse of its military arm. However, this paper aims to bridge this gap. It identifies the frames, classifies them and interprets their denotations.
