Ink Flag
The Ink Flag (, ''Degel HaDyo'') was a handmade Israeli flag raised during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War to mark the capture of Eilat.
==History==
On March 5, 1949, Israel launched Operation Ovda, the last military maneuver of the war. On March 10, the Israeli Defense Forces reached the shores of the Red Sea at Umm Rashrash, west of Aqaba (the biblical Elath), and captured it without a battle. The Negev Brigade and Golani Brigade took part in the operation. A makeshift flag created from a white sheet inscribed with ink was raised by Avraham Adan, company commander of the 8th Battalion of the Negev Brigade.〔(General Avraham Adan: Soldier who raised the 'Ink Flag' that signaled the birth of Israel )〕
The improvised flag was made on the order of Negev Brigade commander Nahum Sarig, when it was discovered that the brigade did not have an Israeli flag on hand. The soldiers found a sheet, drew two ink stripes, and sewed on a Star of David torn off a first-aid kit.〔(Nostalgia Sunday – Eilat )〕
In Eilat, a bronze sculpture by Israeli sculptor Bernard Reder commemorates the event.〔(Bernard Reder sculpture )〕 The photo of the raising of the Ink Flag, taken by the soldier Micha Perry, bears resemblance to the raising of the American flag at Iwo Jima.〔(Former IDF general, Israeli icon Avraham Adan, dies at 86, Haaretz )〕
