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.

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.
