Gaza groups agree to stop firing at Israel

Yahoo! News Senior Palestinian officials said militant groups in the Gaza Strip agreed to stop firing missiles at Israel at midnight Saturday, if Israel launches no new raids into Gaza.

It looks like they need to take time out to rearm.

If they want peace, all they have to do is free their hostage, and stop firing rockets into Israel.

But two main guerrilla groups denied that any agreement had been reached. The Palestinian officials said the unilateral cease-fire was aimed at ending an Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip that began June 28, three days after militants raided an Israeli army post, killing two soldiers and capturing 19-year-old Cpl. Gilad Shalit.
