CAIRO, (PIC)-- A senior Egyptian official on Tuesday declared that calm between Israel and Palestinian resistance factions in the Gaza Strip would go into effect on Thursday morning.

The official Egyptian news agency "MENA" quoted the source as saying that the calm would take place according to the Egyptian tabled offer.

Both the Israeli and Palestinian sides have agreed to the first stage of this offer, which stipulates the start of a reciprocal and simultaneous calm in the Strip first as of 0600 am local time on Thursday, the source added.

The Egyptian announcement follows statements by a number of Hamas officials and other factions that the calm would start by the end of this week.
