Palestinian Preventative Security Forces in Gaza on Saturday called on Hamas to stop the "crazy war" against it hours after one of its officers was killed in Gaza. A statement by the force said, a number of armed Hamas militants in a white Mitsubishi tried to kidnap Bassem Qutb, a 40 year old major in the Preventative Security Force. When he successfully resisted they shot him in the head and chest.The Preventative Force said they call on rational Hamas members to stop this "crazy war" as Israeli fire targeting Palestinians by way of air, land, and sea is indiscriminate. The statement warned, the force has practiced self-control after the abduction of two of its members on their way to Friday prayer, firing missiles at the forces' general headquarters, a campaign meant to turn Palestinians against the force, and the killing of Bassem Qutb in cold blood. If this tolerance is misunderstood by Hamas as weakness, the statement continued, then Hamas is wrong. It warned, the force will take an unwavering stand against Hamas at any costs.
