Mrs. Miriam Holtzberg died today in Tel Hashomer Hospital of wounds she sustained during a gun battle between Israeli paratroopers and Palestinian terrorists in a hijacked Sabena Jet at Lydda Airport last week. The 22-year-old Israeli woman was the wife of a Belgian. She was the only passenger fatality resulting from the gunfight that liberated 100 hostages aboard the airliner in which two terrorists were killed and a third seriously wounded. Two other passengers injured in the battle were discharged from the hospital last week and a third is recovering from wounds. Mrs. Holtzberg was struck by bullets in the head and neck and was in a coma at the time of her death.
