Local Council Kafar Yasif is situated in Western Galilee, 10
km NE of Acre. A Local Council since
1925 with 7500 inh. (christians, muslims and druze). In my visit
there was no flag in the village. In further communication I was
told that in case of need an emblem on white background is used.
The flag is probable pending confirmation.
The municipal emblem has not been published in the official
gazette (Rashumot) and is thus unofficial. Publication
process was initiated in 1997 but never completed.

I visited it few times more and yet to see a flag. This 8000
souls village (57% Christian, 40% Moslems and the rest are mainly
Druze) is touching Abu-Sinan (and you can't tell when one ends
and the other starts) and both are crossed by road 70. It has a
long history and it was one of the first local councils that were
regulated during the Mandate era (local council since 1925).
Until the 19th century there was also a Jewish community and a
Jewish cemetery (which still exist and considered "holy site"
today) which was used also by Jews from Acre (in that era, Acre
wasn't considered as part of Israel-land, while Kafar Yasif did).
In February 1939, half of the village was burned by the British
Army as a retaliation to an attack on British soldiers. A year
after, it was found out that the attackers didn't came from Kafar
Yasif, and the village was compensated by the Mandate government
which brought to the construction of a new city hall and school,
both exist and used until today.
