What happened to many members of Ethiopia's Beta Israel community?

The Beta Israel community, an ancient group of Ethiopian Jews, faced centuries of persecution and displacement within Ethiopia. After enduring historical attempts at extermination and the loss of their lands in the 17th century, the community faced further instability due to war and drought in the 20th century.1

Between 1980 and 1992, approximately 45,000 members of the Beta Israel community fled these dire conditions and emigrated to Israel. Following this mass migration, only a small number of the community remained in Ethiopia, and their subsequent integration into Israeli society became a subject of significant social controversy and ethnic tension.1
