A special team arrived to install the national flag that was made to be displayed across the President�s Residence in Jerusalem as the nation prepares to mark its 70th birthday.

The Flag of Israel at 70 – the special 1,500 square meter flag, will be unveiled for the first time over the President�s Residence.

The flag, weighing 270kg, was produced especially in Israel and took 10 days to stitch, print and assemble. It will be unrolled across the roof of the President�s Residence by special cranes.

The flag was photographed by special drones allowed to fly over the closed secure area and by the Israeli satellite in space, assisted by Unit 9900 – the special Satellite unit of the IDF.
