Tambour, Israel's leading paint and construction finishing products company, has donated nearly 3,000 liters of paint to repair the giant Israeli flag that was damaged last April by a hostile UAV. The enormous flag, 120 meters wide and 30 meters high, is painted in a realistic style and can be seen across the entire Eilat bay.

Artist Roni Pellowart, who originally painted the flag 11 years ago, is responsible for its restoration. For this task, Pellowart used 10 different shades of paint, including black, white, four shades of blue, and four shades of gray, all of which were donated by Tambour.

The restoration work, which took about a month and required precise planning, also involved a crane, provided with the assistance of Rom Eilat. Roni Pellowart's artworks adorn various locations around Eilat, including walls, fences, and shelters.

Micha Scharir, CEO of Tambour, stated, "As a leading Israeli brand, we see great importance and are proud to participate in the flag restoration project, which has long been a part of the Eilat landscape facing the Red Sea."
