Victoria Vicky Hen, 25, was killed while working at the El‑Al ticket counter at Los Angeles International Airport on July 4, 2002. The shooter also killed another person, Yaakov Aminov, at the Bradley International Terminal when he opened fire at the El‑Al counter.

The assailant was identified as Hesham Mohamed Hadayet, an Egyptian man who was shot and killed by El‑Al security personnel at the scene. Investigators later cited Hadayet’s reported anti‑Israeli sentiments and classified the attack as an act of terrorism. No additional suspects were identified.

The shooting provoked widespread condemnation, prompted reviews of airport security for international carriers, and left the victims’ families grieving. If anyone knew Vicky Hen or has information about that day at the El‑Al counter, please share what you remember.
