 Rear Admiral's Flag (Israel)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
Album des Pavillons 2000 shows a flag titled Rear-Admiral (car flag) as a triangular blue pennant, ratio 2:3, with a white emblem, consisting of an upright sword with olive branch and slant anchor.
I guess that the one holding it would probably be the Chief of the General Staff, so he may be using his flag for the purpose, but then it is not unimaginable that there are at some time several persons holding the rank, especially in turmoils of wartime.
Note the emblem is the same as the commander of the navy flag, so I assume that if it is exists then it is his car flag.
