Operasi Ezra dan Nehemia

Dari 1951 sampai 1952, Operasi Ezra dan Nehemia menerbangkan antara 120.000 dan 130.000 Yahudi Irak ke Israel melewati Iran dan Siprus. Imigrasi masif Yahudi Irak adalah peristiwa paling klimatik dari eksodus Yahudi dari negara-negara Arab dan Muslim.

Operasi tersebut diambil dari nama Ezra dan Nehemia, yang memimpin bangsa Yahudi dari pengasingan di Babilonia untuk kembali ke Israel pada abad ke-5 SM, seperti yang tercatat dalam kitab-kitab Alkitab Ibrani yang menyebut nama-nama mereka.
