Israel and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) militants in the Gaza Strip have agreed a ceasefire from 19:00 GMT on Saturday to end five days of fighting, Palestinian sources have told the BBC.
The sources cited negotiations being brokered by Egypt. Israel and the PIJ are yet to comment on the issue.
On Tuesday, Israel launched air strikes on Gaza, saying it was targeting PIJ commanders who had planned attacks.
PIJ responded by firing a barrage of rockets at Israeli cities.
