Israeli troops move deeper into two refugee camps
BALATA REFUGEE CAMP.
West Bank (API — Israeli troops
moved deeper into two Palestinian
refugee camps Friday, trading tire
with gunmen and setting off explo-
sives in house-to-house searches
for weapons and militants. One
soldier and six Palestinians were
killed, among them a IO-year-old
girl.
Israeli army commanders said
the assault on the shantytowns of
Jenin and Balata. both strongholds
of Palestinian militiamen, deliv-
ered a message to the militants that
they have nowhere to hide.
But several Israeli military com-
mentators said the operation — a
first in 17 months of fighting —
was not only futile but also risky.
One reason is the only way into the
clusters of cinderblock houses is by
alleys that are too narrow for tanks.
"This is not a calculated risk. It s
a dangerous gamble." military cor-
respondent Alex Fishman wrote in
the Yediot Ahronoi daily.
In the Gaza Strip, a 7-year-old
Palestinian hoy was killed by what
Palestinian witnesses said was in-
discriminate Israeli machine-gun
fire toward a Bedouin encamp-
ment. The army was investigating
what it said were warning shots
fired at approaching Palestinians
from an Israeli tank.
The Israeli inclusion tnlo JeniA
and Balata began Thursday, with
dozens ol tanks and armored per-
sonnel carriers encircling the
camps. Backed by helicopter gun-
ships. troops moved in on foot,
trading fire with gunmen who also
set off homemade bombs.
In addition to the soldier killed
on Friday, another was seriously
wounded hy gunfire during the in-
cursion into the Jenin camp, the
army said. Over two days. IV
Palestinians and two Israeli sol-
diers have been killed. Dozens of
Palestinians have been wounded.
Israeli soldiers moved cautiously
through the alleys of Balata in
search of weapons.
At one point, four soldiers
jumped from a balcony to an adja-
cent building. "Nearby a soldier
clutched a map and another, appar
ently seeking cover, crouched in a
shop whose facade had been blown
out.
Explosions could be heard as
soldiers set off small bombs during
house-to-house searches.
A lour of the camp revealed at
least seven damaged homes. Eight
other buildings were taken over b\
Israeli troops, with an Israeli flag
Buttering front one window.
In one two-story building, some
connecting walls were missing and
the ground floor was covered in
rubble. A computer, clothes, mat-
tresses and TV were visible under
the debris.
The owner. 70-year-old
Mohammed Houti. said soldiers
searched the house Friday alter or-
dering everyone out. "Then they
ran out of the house, and we heard
an explosion." he said.
He said lie and his family of 44
— sons, daughters-in-law and
grandchildren — would move in
with neighbors for a while.
Troops destroyed the house of
Nasser Awais. commander of the
Al Aqsa Brigades militia in the
camp, the Fatah-linkcd group that
has claimed responsibility lor
many recent attacks.

the teens and the 20s.
Saturday night is expected to be
partly cloudy with lows mainly in
the single digits and teens.
Sunday will be sunny and cold
w ith highs in the 20s and 30s
Monday through Wednesday
should be mostly clear with lows
in the 20s and 30s and highs in the
40s and 50s. It could reach the OOs
on Wednesday.
Several major pileups were re-
ported in Oklahoma City due to the
weather, authorities said.
A 15-car pileup on the Lake
Helner Parkway in northwest
Oklahoma City hacked traffic up
for two miles Friday night, police
said. Firefighters also worked to
free a trapped motorist in another
accident involving three tractor-
trailer rigs at the junction of
Interstates 40 and 44.
In one accident, an Oklahoma
City lire truck collided with a trac-
tor trailer rig as firelighters were
working on an accident at the junc-
tion of 1-40 and 1-35. Fire Maj.
Brian Stanaland said.
"They got on the bridge over
the Dallas junction and a semi hit
them." Stanaland said. "It heavily
damaged the rig. but no firelighters
were injured."
The National Weather Service
issued a winter storm warning for
northern Oklahoma, where 3 to b
inches of snow was expected to ac-
cumulate. Northerly w inds of 20 to
30 mph with higher gusts created
below-zero wind chills and in-
creased the risk of drifting snow,
forecasters said. A swath of I to 3
inches of snow was possible in an
area west of Oklahoma City, the
weather service warned.
In the rest of the state, freezing
drizzle, freezing rain and sleet
coaled trees and power lines and
made bridges and overpasses icy.
Thunder even accompanied fierce-
ly blown snow in central and
north-central sections.
Before the arctic front arrived,
temperatures climbed well into the
40s and 50s and rain fell in some
areas. In Gage, in west-central
Oklahoma. the temperature
dropped from 50 degrees to 30 de-
grees between 3 and 4 p.m.
Forecasters expected the sys-
tem to move east on Saturday, hut
leave sub-freezing temperatures in
its wake. Daytime highs were not
expected to climb out of the teens
and 20s. while lows should dip be-
low zero in northern Oklahoma
and fall into the single digits else-
where Saturday night.
With the mixture of ice and
snow an AAA Oklahoma
spokesperson is warning to drive
carefully.
"Snow can actually serve to
provide greater traction
(Compared to ice)." said Chuck
Mai. spokesman for AAA
Oklahoma. "On sheer ice. you are
in danger of losing that good of
feel of the road completely.”
AAA advises motorists to not
attempt to drive on icy roads unless
that trip is truly necessary. But if
you must get out, follow these tips:
■ Dress for the weather.
Several light layers of clothing arc
better than one or two bulky ones.
■ Make sure you can see where
you're going. Clear all ice and
snow from all windows.
■ Take along some things in
case ol emergency: ice scraper,
snow brush, working flashlight,
first aid kit. warm clothing (gloves,
snow hat. etc.), jumper cables, a
"Send Help" banner, change lor
making phone calls, a cellular tele-
phone. and. most importantly in
this kind of weather, a hag of clay-
based kitty litter or sand to spread
in front of your power wheels i!
you get stuck on a slick spot.
■ If your car has rear-wheel
drive, add extra weight in the trunk
lor greater traction. Cinder blocks
and bags of sand work well.
■ As you begin to drive, lake it
easy. Spinning your tires will not
increase traction. Accelerate slow-
ly. avoid sudden movements with
the steering wheel and brake grad-
ually.
■ Anticipate traffic flow and
"aim high" in steering. This means
to look far down the road and plan
your driving accordingly to avoid
stops and sudden lane changes.
■ As you approach an icy in-
cline. time your arrival so that you
will not have to stop on the hill.
■ Leave plenty of space be-
tween you and the vehicle in front
of you.
■ If.you do start to skid, don’t
panic. Let up on the brake or the
accelerator, whatever has caused
you to skid, and steer “into the
skid," that is, steer the front of the
vehicle in (he direction vou want to
go.
If you steer "with the skid,"
you'll wind up skidding more se-
verely.
■ If you become stuck, raise
your vehicle's hood as a signal of
distress, lock the doors, roll up all
windows, and unless there is help
a short distance away and you feel
safe going there, slay with the ve-
hicle. If you have a “Send Help"
banner, put that in the hack win-
dow.
Tie a red scarf or flag to your
vehicle’s antennae. Stay with the
vehicle. If you have a cellular tele-
phone. call for help. Otherwise,
stay with the vehicle and wait for
someone to slop. When that person
does stop "to help." roll your win-
dow down just an inch, and ask
that person to send help. Don't as-
sume a person who stops is really
there to help you. Slay in the ear
with doors locked until real help
arrives.

Thank You
We would like to thank the people in
the Sapulpa, Jenks, Kiefer, Glenpool and
surrounding area for the wonderful
outpouring of support and encouragement
shows to Spencer Youngblood's family in
this time of pain and grief. Every
card, letter, word and hug was
meaningful and deeply appreciated.
Times like this make us glad we live
amongst people like you who live
in Northeast Oklahoma.
