The video, aired by Al Jazeera's investigative program "The Hidden on the Waves," features Deif alongside Raffi Salameh, commander of the Khan Yunis Brigade, Mohammed Odeh, head of Hamas intelligence, and Hudhayfah Kahalut, spokesperson for the military wing, also known as Abu Ubaida. The images and videos were provided to the Qatari channel directly by Hamas.
The program also broadcast a tape from years ago where Deif recounted his life story, mentioning he read about weapons while in Israeli prison. He detailed his terror operations in the West Bank during the 1990s, stating he moved there for better access to weapons and ammunition. Jihad Yaghmour, who participated in the kidnapping and murder of soldier Nachshon Wachsman, testified that Deif planned the operation. Deif also discussed in archival footage considering transferring Wachsman to Gaza and establishing the foundation for the Hamas military wing's armament with Yahya Ayash.
Following the release of Ahmed Yassin, Deif met with other military wing leaders, including Mohammed Sinwar, Yahya Sinwar's brother. Deif stated that Yassin prioritized the armament and development of the military wing. The footage also showed Deif meeting with Hamas military leadership in one of the organization's tunnels. During the Second Intifada, Deif described the impact of rockets, missiles, and tunnels as forcing settlements to withdraw.

The plan was to be canceled if conditions improved at the Al-Aqsa Mosque and for security prisoners.
