Operation Solomon: Airlifting 14,000 Jews out of Ethiopia
5 hours ago
In 1991, Ethiopia was coming to the end of a long civil war and the government was close to being toppled.
Israel was concerned for the ancient community of Ethiopian Jews and did a deal with the tottering regime to airlift thousands of people out of the country.
The Israelis were given less than two days to carry out Operation Solomon. During that window, they flew more than 14,000 Ethiopian Jews to Israel - one of them was Daniel Nadawo, who was 11 at the time.
He spoke to Witness about that day.
