The video from July 8, 2014, includes excerpts from an interview with Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri, broadcasted on Al-Aqsa TV. In the interview, the interviewer and reporter Ayad Abu Rida discuss the use of human shields by Gazans. They mention a large gathering at the Kawari family house to prevent Israeli warplanes from targeting it. The interviewer notes that this approach of using human shields, which was deemed successful in the past, is being employed again.

Sami Abu Zuhri comments on this strategy, praising the character of the Palestinian people who, he claims, defend their rights and homes with their bare chests and blood. He asserts that this tactic of confronting Israeli warplanes directly has been effective against the occupation. Abu Zuhri commends the bravery of the Palestinian people and encourages the continuation of this approach to protect Palestinian homes, stating that it reflects the courage of the people. He explicitly calls upon the people to adopt this policy as a means of protection.
