Yemenite Jews are those Jews who live, or whose recent ancestors lived, in Yemen. Between June 1949 and September 1950, the overwhelming majority of Yemen"s Jewish population was transported to Israel in Operation Magic Carpet. Most Yemenite Jews now live in Israel, with some others in the United States, and fewer elsewhere. Only a handful remain in Yemen, mostly elderly.

葉門猶太人是指那些居住在葉門，或者他們的祖先曾生活在葉門的猶太人。 1949年6月和1950年9月之間，大多數葉門猶太人口被「魔毯計劃」運到以色列。大多數葉門猶太人現在生活在以色列，其他一些在美國，還有少量在其他地方。只有極少數留在葉門，大多是老年人。

Operation Magic Carpet is a widely known nickname for Operation On Wings of Eagles , an operation between June 1949 and September 1950 that brought 49,000 Yemenite Jews to the new state of Israel. During its course, the overwhelming majority of Yemenite Jews – some 47,000 Yemeni, 1,500 Aden as well as 500 Djiboutian and Eritrean Jews – were airlifted to Israel. British and American transport planes made some 380 flights from Aden, in a secret operation that was not made public until several months after it was over. At some point, the operation was also called Operation Messiah"s Coming.
