On Wednesday, Lakhdar Brahimi, announced that he had reached the agreement with them, but it took til now for Syria to confirm.
According to the Syrian military they will stand by the agreement, but reserve the right to defend themselves and keep rebel forces from reinforcing their lines.
The cease fire will last from Friday through Monday, during the Eid al-Adha holiday.
No word has come from the rebel groups over whether they will acknowledge it or not.
They will most likely wait to see if the national government holds to their own word, before agreeing to it.
