Tal Yehoshua Koren, wife of the Israeli defence attache, was injured Monday afternoon after a terror attack targeting the embassy car she was travelling in.
Arun Bhanot, who is heading the team of doctors treating her, said major shrapnel from her spine had been removed, but more remain in her body.
"There are multiple metal objects in her body, in the liver, lungs and spinal cord," Bhanot told reporters.
"The major shrapnel was in her spinal cord, which was causing pressure on the nerves and had cut one of the nerves," he said.
"That shrapnel has been removed, she may start showing improvement."
