Stars and Fallen Angels

Are the tail swept stars symbolic of Satan’s fallen angels?

I was reading a question posed on Theoblogian and it brought to mind some thoughts I had on Revelation 12. Here are the verses in question:

Revelation 12:3-4a
Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on his heads. His tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth.

Many have thought that the stars that were swept away were the angels that fell with Satan. But I think that is not the case or at least there is a deeper understanding that’s missing. I believe the verses need to be viewed in light of the verses before it

Revelation 12:1-2
A great and wondrous sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth.

The stars that were swept away were the ones mentioned in the verses before it. Twelve stars are mentioned, therefore, four stars were swept away because four is one-third of twelve. Naturally we would then want to know what the twelve stars represent. Most commentaries say either Israel or the Church. This would imply that one-third of Israel or the Church will be swept away. I’m not convinced that the twelve stars do represent Israel or the Church but it is interesting that one-third of the Jewish population was destroyed during the Holocaust. Perhaps the stars are symbolic of both Israel and angels in a multi-dimensional interpretation since stars are used to represent both in Scripture:

Genesis 15:5
He took him outside and said, "Look up at the heavens and count the stars—if indeed you can count them." Then he said to him, "So shall your offspring be."

Genesis 37:9
Then he had another dream, and he told it to his brothers. "Listen," he said, "I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me."

Job 38:7
while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?

Revelation 1:20
The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lampstands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
