Rosh HaAyin is an Israeli settlement located in the Central District. It was established as a Zionist settlement in Palestine in 1949 to accommodate Yemenite Jews, who had been gathered in Aden by the United States and Britain and then transferred to Palestine through an operation launched by the occupation government called “The Magic Carpet” or “Wings of the Falcons.”
The settlement was established on land belonging to the town of Majd al-Yabā, south of the Arab city of Kafr Qasim, and is situated to the west of the Separation Wall. Today, the population of the settlement is approximately 40,000 settlers, and its area is 24.3 square kilometers.
