In examining the various aspects of the Zionist regime against the Islamic resistance in Lebanon we can analyze various aspects which the most important one was the psychological operations and psychological warfare of the regime. Zionist regime in 33-day war used all military facilities (sea, land and air), anti-human acts, intelligence and security threats, economic, political, advertising, media and psychological acts against the group, which was the backing of the people and warriors of faith, but it failed to achieve its goals.
Analyzing various aspects of Israel's actions in this article is not available, but we tend to reveal an important aspect of the regime with a short review to psychological warfare of Zionist regime in Israel's 33-day war.
For information on the psychological operations of the Zionist regime we must first have a comprehensive definition of PSYOPS: Psychological Operations is: "proper designed utilization process of political, cultural, social, economic, military, advertising and media component in order to influence the opinions, emotions, attitudes, and behavior of contact groups in support of the goals".
Israel has many advertising possession, media and psychological operations in the Occupied Territories, the region and around the world has high-power in psychological operation and media war against other countries. Zionist regime dominated the largest international news agencies, hundreds of satellite channels and hundreds of radio stations and hundreds of online sites, thousands of advertising experts, media and psychological warfare looks after his loot purposes.
The Zionist regime is one of puzzles of domination system to achieve the goals of imperialism in the region, which plays the role of policeman. According to commitment of the domination regime for providing Israel's security in the region is set in spearhead of implementation of the Greater Middle East and in this regard, after 11th September event, it started to play his role.
Israel has prepared himself to implement the massive assault on Gaza to destroy Hamas as well as occupying a large part of the Lebanese territory to push Hezbollah away from border to the Lebanon to create greater security for settlements in the occupied territories.
By Hamas anticipate in captivity of Israeli soldier, the attack plan started earlier and Zionist regime by a savage assault on Gaza killed defenseless people of Palestine. In contrast, the Islamic resistance in Lebanon also captured the Israeli soldiers and fell apart Israel's original plan. The regime relied on its military power and fear that the Zionist army had created in the imagination of the world, especially the Arabs and Muslims started a broad attack on various Lebanese regions, especially in Hezbollah's residential areas.
Israeli regime has set goals as top strategic priority in his military operations' basic principles which are as follows:
Principle 1 - trenchant and destructive but short-lived war: in this case, the base is the Zionist army overcome to the enemy in the shortest time. According to the Campbell's interpretation the army and people of Israel are heavily vulnerable against long battles of attrition.
Principle 2: Minimal losses: Due to the limitations of Israel's population and the fear of extinction and losses, the principle is very important for him.
Principle 3 - strategic warning: creating fear with showing power and authority to warn the Arabs and Muslims of military action (the Israeli intelligence system should know of this issue before the attack and should warn the regime's military system so by measures such as preventive strikes (preemptive invasion) prevent their destruction and defeat.
principle 4. deterrence - specific measures, especially psychological operations to show nuclear power in order to avoid any action against the regime.
Principle 5- war outside the occupied territories in order to maintain the security of the Jewish residents of the Occupied Territories
Taking advantage of this principle is very important.
According to studies which are done by Israeli researchers, the regime will not achieve its goals without the use of psychological warfare and the various ways of it. Israel applies psychological warfare tactics such as deception, bribery, terror, assassination, abduction and victimization, enjoying a wide range of visual, auditory and written media in achieving the non-sacred objectives.

- Making a difference and tension between the enemies and preventing the Union and the Arab and Islamic countries against him;
- Encouraging enemy countries' soldiers to flee from the front and knock out the battle;
- Deceiving the enemy and his forces enjoying the strategic or tactical deception techniques;
- having support from its allies;
