Album des Pavillons 2000
shows it as the naval ensign, ratio 2:3, defaced in the lower fly
with a golden emblem, consisting of a sword and branch crossed in
saltire and above them a [fig] leaf. This is the emblem of the IDF rank called Aluf in Hebrew,
which is equivalent to Major General and Rear Admiral in Western
tradition (i.e. two-star general). As the Commander-in-Chief of
the Navy holds Aluf rank himself, this flag is
presumably used as distinguishing flag when another Aluf
is present on a navy vessel. Maybe the caption in Album des Pavillons 2000
should say Rear-Admiral and Major General.

My source for this flag is an article by Zvi Ruder in Flagmaster no. 059.

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.
