A group of Ethiopian Jews have arrived in Israel nearly 30 years after the first operation to bring members of the community to the Jewish state.
The arrival of 240 members of the Falash Mura group marks what is set to be the final chapter in the story of the Ethiopian Jewish community.
More than 120,000 Ethiopian Jews now live in Israel, but around 2,000 are still believed to be in the African country. The first mission to bring them to Israel took place in secret in the early 1980s, and by January 1985 Israel had airlifted some 8,000 people from the impoverished, famine-stricken African country.
In 1991 another 15,000 were airlifted to Israel in Operation Solomon.
