TEL AVIV, May. 27 (JTA) - In what appears to have been a brilliantly planned and flawlessly executed operation, 14,087 Ethiopian Jews, comprising over 3,000 families, were airlifted from Addis Ababa to Israel over the weekend within some 30 hours. Code-named "Operation Solomon," the airlift was accomplished in a mere 40 flights, involving dozens of aircraft.
