The Leader of the Islamic Revolution,Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei 
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution says Israel's brutal and hard-hearted assault on Gaza has entered the realms of psychological warfare.
Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said Wednesday that Israel's aerial and ground offensive in Gaza has entered a third stage: a viral psychological campaign designed to sap Palestinian morale and resistance - a goal Tel Aviv failed to achieve by the means of blockade and war.
"With the fighting over, Israel is now preparing a new offensive against Gazans that employs propaganda and psychological tactics as a means to debilitate Palestinians," said the Leader.
"However, despite the extreme conditions, Hamas and the spirit of Palestinian resistance remains far from broken," Ayatollah Khamenei continued.
After Israel ceased the war on Gaza some three weeks ago, foreign journalists and non-governmental organizations flooded into the impoverished Palestinian territory to assess the damage from 23 days of massive bombing and shelling.
With this in mind, Israel began compiling information to try to prove that many of the 4,000 residential buildings, 51 government buildings, and 20 mosques which were reduced to rubble during the offensive were legitimate targets used by Hamas forces.
At least six Israeli ministers will spearhead the battle for international public opinion by “fanning out t
o different countries to press home Israel's view of the conduct of the war.”
Welfare Minister Isaac Herzog, meanwhile, said Israel has stepped up efforts to defend its war on Gaza and prevent what he described as 'over-dramatization' of the facts.
Earlier in January, Tel Aviv tried to justify its attack on a United Nations school, alleging that it was responding to "militant gunfire." Israelis also released a video footage of the incident in an attempt to substantiate their claims.
The footage, however, was later found to be dated back to 2007 and irrelevant to the deadly attack during the war on Gaza.
UNRWA spokesman Chris Gunness said senior Israeli military officials have confessed that there was 'no gunfire' emanating from the school when it was shelled by Israeli tanks.
The attacks on three UN-run schools killed at least 45 civilians and injured over 150 others, who were seeking shelter inside the school to escape the arbitrary Israeli strikes.
