Mrs. Miriam Holtzberg was reported near death today at Tel Hashomer Hospital. The 22-year-old Israeli woman, wife of a Belgian, was seriously wounded in the gun battle in the hijacked Sabena airliner at Lydda Airport last week. A hospital bulletin said she has suffered a sudden acute drop in blood pressure and that there were disturbances in the functioning of her brain. Doctors are still trying to save her life but her chances to survive are considered slim, according to hospital sources.
