About the flag
Based on the flag of the 1916 Arab Revolt, it adds a white seven-pointed star said to stand for the seven verses of the opening chapter of the Quran.
How to spot it: Black-white-green stripes with a red triangle at the hoist; the white seven-pointed star sets it apart from Palestineโs flag.
