Operation Balak

During the chaotic period of the founding of the Israeli state in 1948, Operation Balak was the smuggling of arms purchased in Europe past various embargoes and boycotts to the Zionists. Of particular note was the delivery of a number of Czech-made Bf109 fighters produced for the Nazi Luftwaffe. The name is a reference to the king of the Maobites, son of Zippor, whose name is mentioned in Numbers 22:2. By extension, the name came to mean 'Destroyer.'
