Iyad Abu Funun: Through this achievement, the Al-Qassam Brigades have raised the level of the challenge in the face of this tyrannical enemy. [The Al-Qassam Brigades] manufactured and developed these drones. Based on firm and solid scientific and technical foundations, [the Al-Qassam Brigades] was able to manufacture Ababil, Shehad, Zouari and other drones, and what is yet to come is even mightier."
