The final 300 of an approved 2,000 Ethiopian immigrants landed in the Jewish state on Thursday, bringing to an end the three-month-long “Operation Tsur Israel.” The new immigrants are all members of the
Falash Mura, members of the ancient Ethiopian Jewish population that converted to Christianity in the past two centuries.
Jewish Agency Chairman
Isaac Herzog said of the operation:
“The final Operation Tsur Israel flight arrived reuniting countless families after far too many years apart. This is a moment that tugs at the heartstrings, reminding us that our mission to bring the remaining members of the community waiting to make Aliyah is far from over.”
