According to the Al-Arabiya network, Israel has agreed to a ceasefire with Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

The Saudi-based news site claims that Israel has promised to halt targeted assassinations of the group’s officials unless it has information about a specific planned attack.

The site also says that Israel has agreed to hand over the body of Khader Adnan, a senior Islamic Jihad member who died in prison earlier this month.

The report did not mention the Islamic Jihad demand to halt next week’s controversial Jerusalem Day Flag March.
