Islamic Jihad conditionally accepts Israel truce: spokesman

AFP , Tuesday 13 Mar 2012

Palestinian Islamic Jihad group says it will accept a cease fire if Israel agrees to end aggression and targeted killings

Islamic Jihad, the Palestinian group behind most of the rockets fired at Israel, is ready to respect a truce if Israel ends its "aggressions," a spokesman told AFP.

"We accept a ceasefire if Israel agrees to apply it by ending its aggressions and assassinations," Daud Shehab said after Egypt announced it had brokered a "comprehensive and mutual" truce between Israel and Gaza militants, after four days of violence that left 25 Palestinians dead.
