The ancient Jewish community of Aden, which once numbered about 7,000, passed out of existence today with the arrival of most of the protectorate’s Jewish remnant in Israel. A member of the group of 150 which arrived here on a chartered plane said two Jews were left in Aden, one who was wounded and one who refused to leave. All the newcomers had British passports.
In 1965, the Jewish population was listed as 400, Several Jews were killed, and Jewish property put to the torch recently by Arab mobs who went into action after Israel’s victory in the war which was started on June 5.
