The Information Department (Шаблон:Lang-ar), commonly known as the Information Branch (Шаблон:Lang-ar) or the Information (Шаблон:Lang-ar), is the intelligence unit of the Internal Security Forces Directorate (ISF) (Шаблон:Lang-ar). It is mainly tasked with gathering, processing, and analyzing national and military intelligence, counterintelligence,[1][2][3] counterterrorism,[4][5][6][7] criminal investigation,[8][9][10][11][12][13] and espionage.

Acting as a counterweight to the intelligence directorate of the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) (Шаблон:Lang-ar), it was extensively trained and supplied by the United States, France, and Germany. Having undergone training in the Alps, its Strike Force (Шаблон:Lang-ar) is equipped with advanced firearms and devices.[14]

Recognized as one of the most powerful intelligence agencies in the Middle East,[15] its executives and officers have been subject to targeted assassinations and assassination attempts.[16]
