Local Council Beit Jann is situated on ha'Ari and Miron Mounts in the Upper Galilee, 15 km NE to Karmiel, and is probably the highest (ASL) local authority in Israel. Established in the 11th century and a Local Council since 1964. Pop: 8800, all Druze. In my visit in this beautiful mountainous village I spotted various municipal flags:

green emblem on red-orange field, no inscription
red emblem on yellow field, no inscription
yellow emblem on green field, no inscription
green emblem on white field, Hebrew inscription above and Arabic inscription below

The municipal emblem was published in the official gazette (Rashumot), 'Publications Gazette' section (Yalkut ha'Pirsumim), YP 1396, 28 September 1967.

The first Druze arrived to Beit Jann in the 18th Century. The origin of the name is unknown (one source suggest that it came from Janna [Garden]). In the village there is an holy Druze grave (Nabi Bha'a al-Din).
