Hanna Meron, the Israeli stage star who was seriously injured in the terrorist attack at Munich airport, said that she expected to be back in Israel in four to six weeks. One of her legs had to be amputated because of the injuries she suffered when terrorists opened fire on a busload of El Al passengers at the airport on Feb. 10. She disclosed her plans in a telephone interview over the army broadcasting service. Officials here said her voice sounded firm and that she said her condition was improving rapidly. She said the turning point was noted by physicians at a Munich hospital a few days ago when they decided no additional surgery was needed and that Miss Meron’s wounds were healing satisfactorily.
