Syria will end military operations on Thursday, state TV has said, the day a ceasefire brokered by the UN-Arab League envoy to Syria is scheduled to come into effect.
Envoy Kofi Annan said the Syrian authorities had told him they would "cease all military fighting throughout Syrian territory" by 06:00 (03:00 GMT).
However, the rebels said they doubted the government side would stop.
Violence continued on Wednesday, in Homs particularly.
Activists said at least 11 people had been killed across the country.
"After our armed forces completed successful operations in combating the criminal acts of the armed terrorist groups and enforced the state's rule over its territory, it has been decided to stop these operations from Thursday morning," state TV quoted a ministry official as saying.
The announcement made no mention of Mr Annan's ceasefire plan.
