The Syrian military has agreed to halt military operations from Friday morning for the Muslim holiday weekend, the army said.
In a statement read on state television, the army added it would still respond to gunfire or roadside bombs and keep rebels from bolstering their positions or getting supplies.
"Military operations will cease on Syrian territory as of Friday morning until Monday the 29th. (The military) reserves the right to respond to continuing attacks on civilians and government forces by armed groups," the statement said.
A Free Syrian Army commander said rebels will honour a ceasefire to mark Eid al-Adha but demanded the release of detainees by Friday.
However, the spokesman of Islamist Ansar al-Islam, Abu Moaz, said his fighters will not commit to the ceasefire brokered by UN-Arab mediator Lakhdar Brahimi.
Mr Brahimi proposed a four-day ceasefire for the Muslim holiday, saying it could lead to a longer truce and political negotiations between the sides.
Rebel forces have dismissed the idea, saying they don't trust the regime of President Bashar Assad to stick to its promises.
Abu Moaz also said the fighters doubt the government will honour the truce.
