Information Branch

The Information Department (Arabic: شعبة المعلومات), commonly known as the Information Branch (Arabic: فرع المعلومات) or the Information (Arabic: المعلومات), is the intelligence unit of the Internal Security Forces Directorate (Arabic: المديرية العامة لقوى الأمن الداخلي). It is mainly tasked with gathering, processing, and analyzing national and military intelligence, counterintelligence, counterterrorism, criminal investigation, and espionage.

Acting as a counterweight to the Intelligence Directorate of the Lebanese Armed Forces (Arabic: مديرية المخابرات في الجيش اللبناني), it was extensively trained and supplied by the United States, France, and Germany. Having undergone training in the Alps, its Strike Force (Arabic: القوة الضاربة) is equipped with advanced firearms and devices.

Recognized as one of the most powerful intelligence agencies in the Middle East, its executives and officers have been subject to targeted assassinations and assassination attempts.
