Israel is not depending alone on their advance military weapons with their war against the Hamas in Gaza, they have also found weapons to use online, and it is the social network giants twitter and youtube.

While checking for footages in the current Gaza crisis in youtube, I came across this channel earlier which is said to be owned by the Israel Defense Force Spokesperson Unit. The channel shows video clips with updates on Israel ground force attacks,  Hamas offices, weapon storage hit by the air strikes and videos of Israel humanitarian aid bound for Gaza which looks like an answer to the accusations that they are not allowing any humanitarian aid going inside Gaza.

I have also seen the twitter account of the Israel consulate providing an online press conference on what’s happening in Gaza. It was Consul David Saranga of Israel that concludes, “the point of this was to hear what ppl say and to share our point of view with fellow twitters.”
