In my visit, I found out that the flag is blue emblem on light
blue background. They modified the official emblem to look like a
face.

Netivot is a municipality since 2000, with population of
22,400 (2003). So the inscription Mo'atz Mekomit was
removed from the flag. The name Netivot (Paths) is taken
from the bible (Proverbs 3,17). Established in 1956 as
"Azata"
Netivot was known as the hometown of the Baba Sali (Real
name: Israel Abu-Hatzeira 1890-1984), a famous religious leader
of oriental (Sefaradic) Jews. His monumental grave is a magnet to
his followers and a site to a feast each year on 4 in Shvat.
