The unofficial flag of Local Council Bir El-Maksur is a emblem
in natural colors on a white bedsheet (2:3) with the inscription
BIR EL MAKSUR (in English) below the emblem. A black and white
emblem can be seen here.
Bir el-Maksur (in Arabic broken well) is a local council
situated on the road from Qiryat Bialik
to Nazareth (road 79) about 15 km NW
of the latter. Its population of 6,000 is made up of settled
Bedouins from the Arab el-Hujeirat tribe. It was established in
the 1950s and became a local council in 1990.

The municipal emblem was published in the official gazette (Rashumot,
Yalkut ha-Pirsumim), YP 4389, 12 March 1996.
The emblem shows olive branches, a mosque, tents, a palm and a
well. Beer el-Maksur means 'broken well' in Arabic.
Dov Gutterman, 11 July, 21 September and 12 October 2001
There are two versions for the origin of the name, both
attributed to the well that situated on the feet of the hill on
which the village is situated. First version is that during a
very rainy winter, the walls of the well were ruined under the
pressure of the water coming from the well. Second version is
that during the Mandate era, a British officer came to see the
well, slipped and broke his leg.
In any case, the first house in the village was erected in 1945,
it became a "recognized village" in 1975 and Local
Council in 1990.

Since I visited this village quite a few times, I should inform
that I once also saw a flag with dark blue emblem on light blue
background .
The emblem include the well - representation of the area and the
name, a palm tree, Bedouin tents - for the roots of the
population and a mosque on a hill - for their faith.
