On Wings of Eagles. Between June 1949 and September 1950 the operation brought 49,000 Yemeni and other Jews to Israel. The name of the operation came from two Bible verses – Exodus 19:4 "The LORD said … I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself." and Isaiah 40:31 "The LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles."
