Local Council Qazrin (pronounced Qatzrin) is named after an
ancient city whose ruins are nearby and its nickname is 'capital
of the Golan'. It is situated in the centre of the Golan Heights
in area that was siezed from Syria in 1967. Est. 1977. Pop.
6500. On the city hall is a white flag with yellow emblem,
inscriptions above and below the emblem. Elsewhere there is also
a blue flag with white emblem. The municipal
emblem has not been published in the official gazette (Rashumot)
and is thus unofficial.

Mr. Ron Moskovic, Local Council clerk, sent me the emblem with
no further information on 7 November 2001.

The main motif of the emblem is an ancient gate of a synagogue
that was built in the 6th century and was located in nearby
excavations. Photos of the gate at www.qatzrin.muni.il [retrieved, picture]
and www.tiuli.com [old version retrieved, picture].

Qazrin celebrates its 25th anniversary with a special logo
designed by Ed Van-Hoyn. I don't know if the logo appeared on a
flag too. The logo at www.qatzrin.muni.il [not retrievable].
