Regional Council of Shomeron (Samaria) is one of the six
Regional Councils in Judea and Samaria District, covering what is
known as 'C' areas of the West Bank. This Regional Council is the
local authority of the Jewish settlements in Jenin, Tulkarem and
most of Shkhem subdistricts and in its area (but not part of it)
are the independent local authorities of Local
Council of Qedumim, Local Council of
Immanu'el, Local Council of Alfe
Menashe, Local Council of Oranit,
Local Council of Elqana, Local Council of Qarne Shomeron and Municipality of Ariel. Est. 1979, pop.
15,000. The above image is based on the desk flag, so there could
be changes when used as a hoisted flag.

Phillips.

The emblem of Shomeron has not been formally adopted. Israeli
municipalities in areas occupied since 1967 cannot register their
emblems. The reason is that those areas are not legally part of
Israel and according to international law they are governed by
decrees of the military commander of the areas. Many Israeli laws
are in force in those municipalities when adopted there by the
military commander, but the Symbols/Emblems
Protection Act of 1974 is not one of them.

Established on 19 April 1979 and govern 34 settlements but
some are going to be evacuated according to PM Sharon's severing
plan. English homepage at <www.shomron.org.il>.
I found some variants of the municipal flags at the official
website:
- Black emblem on yellow at <sdf.shomron.org.il/1.jpg>
- Black emblem on green at <sdf.shomron.org.il/8.jpg>
- Blue emblem on white at <sdf.shomron.org.il/4.jpg>.
I found also flag of Sha'are Tiqwa (Gates of Hope - one of the
settlements) as logo on white at <sdf.shomron.org.il/20.jpg>.
Emblem of Sha'are Tiqwa can be seen at <sdf.shomron.org.il/2.jpg>.
