July 4 Memorial Commemorating Victims of LAX Terror Attack
A memorial plaque will be dedicated at LAX today to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the terror attack at the El Al Israeli airline counter that killed two people and wounded four.
On July 4, 2002, Hesham Mohamed Hadayet, a 41-year old Egyptian national, opened fire at the El-Al check-in counter of LAX’s Tom Bradley international airport terminal, killing two people and wounding four others.
At 10:45 a.m. today (July 4) El-Al staff and passengers will join the victims’ families to commemorate the lives lost.
Danny Gadot, consul for Consular Services at the Consulate General of Israel will attend the ceremony, alongside the El Al Airlines 2002 LAX Station Chief, Klaus Hackel, and Avi Hen, whose daughter, Vicky, died in the attack.
