Operation On Wings of Eagles

following a month long operation of around the clock pick ups and drop offs, Israel has transported 47,000 Yemeni, 1500 Aden as well as 500 Djiboutian and Eritrean Jews, from Yemen into Israel

The name for the operation comes from two biblical passages

Exodus 19:4 - "You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I bore you on wings of eagles, and brought you to Myself."

Book of Isaiah 40:31 - "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

Since they had never seen aircraft before, many of the immigrants were extremely scared and refused to board, but were assured when reminded of these verses by their rabbi
