Mortars and Kassam rockets continued to fall in the Eshkol, Sha'ar Hanegev and Hof Ashkelon Regional Councils through Thursday night.

Hamas' armed wing, the Izzadin Kassam Brigades took responsibility for firing an anti-tank missile at a school bus in the Sha'ar Hanegev Regional Council on Thursday, which left a 16-year-old in critical condition.

Palestinian terrorist factions in the Gaza Strip announced Thursday night that they reached a decision to halt fire from the Strip into Israel in an effort to reign in growing escalations.

Sources quoted by Palestinian news sources in the Strip said that the cease fire would take effect at 11 p.m. Thursday.

The report said that the decision was reached after intensive contacts between the Palestinians and international parties with the aim of "stopping the aggression against Gaza."
