Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad has said that it's forces will cease all rocket attacks on Israel.
Small militant groups based in Gaza frequently fire rockets into Israel. The military wing of the ruling Hamas party has attempted to stop such attacks over the last number of months however smaller organisations such as the Popular Resistance Committee's and Islamic Jihad have continued.
In a statement, Islamic Jihad leader Dawood Shihab said that: "We agreed to halt one of the means of armed resistance, which is firing rockets at Israel, to avoid the Israeli threats, but the armed resistance will keep active in other means such as confronting raids and incursions."
Shihab also insisted that the ceasefire was only "temporary" and was in response to the current conditions on the ground.
