For thousands of years, Ethiopian Jews would quote the Jewish phrase, "next year in Jerusalem."

In 1991, following Operation Moses in 1984, this dream became a reality for the 14,300 Jews airlifted to #Israel during Operation Solomon.

This is their story:

Following civil unrest & political instability in Ethiopia, putting the Jewish community at risk, on May 24-25, 1991, Israel airlifted 14,300 Ethiopian Jews to Israel in a special mission titled #OperationSolomon.
📸@MoDIsrael
Israel chartered 35 aircrafts, including Israeli Air Force C-130s, in a clandestine mission to rescue 14,000+ Ethiopian Jews and safely bring them to Israel within 36 hours.

In order to rescue as many people as possible, the seats of the planes were removed. Image
