Description

An adaptation of the naval ensign with the [yellow] badge in the lower fly consisting of the sword, anchor, and olive branch.
Source: Ministry of Defence 1974.

In an article in Flagmaster no. 059, Zvi Ruder specifies the anchor in the Chief of the General Staff and Commander of the Navy badges is mistakenly shown twisted the other way round in Flags of All Nations 1958.

Album des Pavillons 2000 shows it as the naval ensign defaced in the lower fly with a golden emblem, consisting of an upright sword with an olive branch and slant anchor.

Car Pennant

[Car Pennant, Rear Admiral (Israel)] 2:3

Album des Pavillons 2000 shows a flag titled Rear-Admiral (car flag) as a triangular blue pennant, ratio 2:3, with a white emblem, consisting of an upright sword with olive branch and slant anchor. If I am not mistaken, there are two other General ranks in IDF, a lower one and a higher one. While I could imagine that the lower one may not have a flag authorized, I wonder what about the higher one. I guess that the one holding it would probably be the Chief of the General Staff, so he may be using his flag for the purpose, but then it is not unimaginable that there are at some time several persons holding the rank, especially in turmoils of wartime.

Another flag that I have never seen. Note the emblem is the same as the commander of the navy flag, so I assume that if it is exists then it is his car flag.
