The flags are rectangular, 90 cm × 120 cm and divided diagonally by a line going from the upper hoist to the bottom fly. Bottom hoist is green, upper fly is black.

The main element of the flag is usually the shoulder patch or a similar design. Since these are awarded to brigade-level (or equivalent) formations while flags are awarded to regiment/batallion-level formations, the latter flags have additional elements to distinguish the specific battalion. (...) The finials are in the shape of the corps emblems and attached to them are campaign streamers.

Browsing through some military magazines I came across a photo of Israeli Merkava tanks in action in Lebanon (1982) [1]. Each of them had two triangular pennants in the armour colours (black-green) on the antennas.
