When Yosef Haddad opened his camera Tuesday night during the sirens in Tel Aviv, he put on a grave countenance and reported in a serious and firm tone the problematic situation that many Israeli citizens have to deal with with the threat of missiles hovering over their heads. While explaining the routine that had been violated and documenting his entry into the protected area together with other passersby who were in the area, he found himself in an unplanned situation that completely changed the message he wanted to convey.
"I was caught by the sirens in Tel Aviv, I took out a camera to shoot an informational video, but in the end a slightly different video came out than I had planned. There is nothing about the people of Israel," Haddad wrote under the video.

At the beginning of the video, Haddad is heard describing the situation. "Once again, the terrorist organization is shooting at civilians in Tel Aviv, and this is the situation. Now we have to go to a safe space." Later on, he immortalized himself staying in a protected area with many other Israelis. "These are the enemies of Hamas? As far as they're concerned, yes! Targeting civilians is their goal. This is the reality of Israeli society today. That's the situation," he said. As he tried to illustrate the moments of panic to his followers abroad, cheers could be heard in the background from those present. "There is nothing about you, there is nothing about you, Joseph!" it was said. The social activist could not remain indifferent to the warm messages, and began to laugh. "Gone is the video...," he said as he continued to praise and call his name. I can't bring that up," he said with a broad smile. "They say 'Hamas missiles' and that's how we smile. Gone is everything...", he declared.
But then Haddad realized that this situation could also be exploited for PR purposes. "You know what? If we're already making a video like this together, then here's my chance to say to Hamas: Even when your missiles reach Tel Aviv, look at the Israeli spirit!" he said to cheers and "Am Yisrael Chai."

In conclusion, he addressed the terrorist organization: "Long live the State of Israel, long live the people of Israel. And to Hamas - you will not defeat us! Your missiles don't scare us. You will go to hell, Inshallah."
