LAST UPDATE: 18:14
Israel and Palestinian militants agreed to observe a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip from Sunday night as proposed by Cairo, sources said, after a weekend of deadly Israeli shelling of Palestinian targets and rocket fire into Israeli territory by Palestinian enclave.
An Egyptian security source said Israel had agreed to the truce offer, while a Palestinian official familiar with Egyptian mediation efforts said the ceasefire would take effect at 20:00 local and Greek time.
Spokesmen for Israel and Islamic Jihad did not confirm the ceasefire agreement, saying only that they are in contact with Cairo.
