The color of the Magen David and the stripes of the Israeli flag is not precisely specified by the above legislation. The color depicted in the current version of the image is typical of flags used in Israel today, although individual flags can and do vary. The flag legislation officially specifies dimensions of 220 cm × 160 cm. However, the sizes of actual flags vary (although the aspect ratio is usually retained). — Wikimedia Commons (Public domain) — https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi... • Unknown authorUnknown author — Wikimedia Commons (Public domain) — https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi... • See File history below for details. — Wikimedia Commons (Public domain) — https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi... • Madden and others — Wikimedia Commons (Public domain) — https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi... • Original: Ivor Evans, Leslie John Hawkins, Egbert John Nuttall, Annie Dorrington and William Stevens Vector: Ian Fieggen — Wikimedia Commons (Public domain) — https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi... • (of code) xfi — Wikimedia Commons (Public domain) — https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi... • Miguel Teurbe Tolón and Narciso López — Wikimedia Commons (Public domain) — https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi... • Drawn by User:SKopp — Wikimedia Commons (Public domain) — https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi... • Unknown — Wikimedia Commons (Public domain) — https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi... • See File history below for details. — Wikimedia Commons (Public domain) — https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...
