Batty woman returning to quiet plain in Israel (6)
I believe the answer is:
sharon
'plain in israel' is the definition.
'batty woman returning to quiet' is the wordplay.
'batty woman' becomes 'nora' (Nora Batty, Last of the Summer Wine character).
'returning' says the letters should be written backwards.
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'quiet' becomes 'sh'.
'nora' back-to-front is 'aron'.
'aron' after 'sh' is 'SHARON'.
(Other definitions for sharon that I've seen before include "Ariel ..., former prime minister of Israel" , "Girl's name (with rose)" , "Girl's name; -- fruit" .)
