A 76-year-old American Tourist, Mrs. Lillian Klein of Illinois, hobbled on crutches to an airliner at Lydda Airport today for the trip home, ending her first visit to Israel-spent, for the most part, in a hospital. Mrs. Klein was the victim of a terrorist grenade attack in Nablus last April. She suffered severe injuries and underwent a series of operations from which she has only just recovered. But with boundless optimism, she vowed that she would visit Israel again. “I feel very well. I actually feel younger after all that happened,” she said at the airport.
