At Al Zaytouna Center for Studies and Consultations, I prepared reports, bulletins, and analyses based on systematic open-source research, and reviewed research output for accuracy and consistency. I followed political, military, and strategic sources in Arabic, English, and Hebrew, and used Excel, Power BI, and AI tools in research and analysis.

As Head of the Press Information Unit, I led a nine-person team that monitored news sources, verified and compared information, and prepared periodic bulletins. Earlier, I conducted open-source research and media archiving at Al Zaytouna Center for Studies and Consultations and Open Media Center, and translated political, military, and journalistic texts from English into Arabic.
