GAZA, Nov 23 (Reuters) - Palestinian militant groups offered Israel to stop firing rockets into the Jewish state in exchange for a cessation of all attacks on the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank, an official said on Thursday.

Islamic Jihad leader Khader Habib said the main Palestinian factions including the governing Hamas group, the rival Fatah of President Mahmoud Abbas and other smaller groups reached the understanding while meeting Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh.
