Local Council Hazor (or Khatzor) HaGelilit is situated in the
Upper Galilee, just north of Rosh Pina,
was founded in 1954 and has 10,000 inh. It is named after the
Biblical city of Hazor whose remains are located 3 km north of
the Local Council.
During my visit I spotted the unofficial municipal flag as green
with black emblem and no inscription. The municipal emblem was
published in the official gazette (Rashumot, Yalkut
ha-Pirsumim), YP 1770, 20 October 1971.

I found three different dates about the establishment of Hazor
HaGelilit (usually known as Hazor). Seems that 1952 is the
correct date when the former residents of a transitional
settlement situated next to nearby Rosh-Pina, entered their new
homes. It is named after the biblical Hazor, now identified in
the excavated Tel Hazor (Hazor Mound) north to the town.
Anyhow, it is Local Council since 1956.
I reported a black emblem on green as municipal flag, but further
observation (last one two weeks ago - there was a yellow one)
reveals that Hazor also use many different backgrounds, i.e. the
blue emblem on white seen above the city hall at <demo.ort.org.il>.
