Re-enforced Israeli patrols continued to maintain a tight security watch in Gaza today in the aftermath of a general strike and grenade attacks that killed one Arab and wounded a dozen others since Saturday. The strike, which shut down schools and shops and halted public transportation, was called to mourn the death of three terrorists killed in a clash with an Israeli patrol Saturday morning. Israeli authorities said the grenade assaults were intended to intimidate local Arabs who were not observing the strike. A large area of the northern Gaza Strip has been under curfew since Jan. 2 when two Israeli children were killed in a grenade attack on a private car. Forty Arab school girls from Jerusalem had a narrow escape on a visit to Nablus yesterday when a hand grenade that landed in their midst failed to explode. Police imposed a partial curfew on the area after they defused the grenade.
