Hezbollah's video concluded with the word "to be continued," followed by additional aerial reconnaissance footage from Safed and Tabarayya, to be featured in the next episode of the series.
This episode of the Hoopoe follows the first nine-minute-and-a-half episode, titled "This is what the Hoopoe came back with," in which the Military Media of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon released footage showing its reconnaissance drones flying over swathes of occupied Palestinian land, including Kiryat Shmona, Nahariya, Safad, Karmiel, Afula, all the way to Haifa and its port.

The published footage included intelligence about Israeli sites inside occupied Palestine and clearly showed that the drone arrived at the port of Haifa intact. Hezbollah's drones brought back footage and information about sensitive sites they captured over Haifa starting with the port itself to oil refineries and military factories, not to mention the locations of military battleships and important economic hubs in the port.
Five days later, Hezbollah released a video showing vital Israeli targets only known to the occupation's security apparatus, suggesting that these sites would be targeted in case of a war against Lebanon.
The video included snippets of Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's speech, in which he warned the Israeli occupation that the Resistance would fight with no restraints or limits if war were imposed on Lebanon.
