From a postcard with the municipal emblem issued by the municipality:
Sederot is mentioned in the Bible at the period of King Solomon. The general outline of the emblem expresses the spirit of the place at present and future.
Blue - the sky is blue most of the time.
Gold - the heart of the town citizens is warm and loving like the warm and pleasant sun rays.
Red - roofs - construction and development aimed at improving the quality of life in town.
Furrows - the beauty of nature. The town is immersed in greenery and avenues of trees.
The unoffical flag is the emblem on a monochrome background.
There is no specific colour but the favoured colour is light
blue/azure.

Mayor's chamber and Spokesman, 21st August 2001; postcard issued
by the municipality.

In my visit in Sederot I found that all the flags in the
municipality were with blue emblem on white with no inscription.

Sederot is a municipality since 1996 (it was Local Council
since 1958). It became involuntary famous lately as it became a
target for rockets that are launched from Gaza Strip.
