It’s been a slow thaw that might
not be complete until Monday.
Despite a relatively dry and
sunny day Thursday, local streets
and highways made little progress
toward returning to normal. Ice
kept even the most heavily traveled
thoroughfares in treacherous con-
dition and all county schools were
closed again today. Many busi-
nesses were also closed as few
people ventured outdoors.

JERUSALEM — Israeli troops fired on Arab pro-
testers during clashes at two refugee camps in the
occupied Gaza Strip, killing a 15-year-old Palestinian
and wounding seven other Arab demonstrators, a U.N.
official said.
Eight other people, including an Israeli soldier, were
reported injured Thursday in other violence.
Four weeks of riots in the occupied territories that
have left at least 24 Palestinians dead, by official
Israeli count. If Israeli authorities confirm the latest
killing, it would raise the death toll to 25.
The West Bank and Gaza Strip, which Israel cap-
tured from Jordan and Egypt in the 1967 Middle East
war, are home to 1.5 million Palestinians.
Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, speaking on
national television, said the riots were a new Arab
