At August 28, 2002 the Government of Israel determined the order of wearing decorations, medals and ribbons by civilians. Civilians entitled to these symbols, may wear them during remembrance days, official ceremonies and meetings of the relevant organizations.
The insignia should be worn above the left chest pocket or on the parallel place for a dress without such a pocket. The insignia are to be worn in rows, while the order of the insignia within every row is the chronological order of the acts or services for which the insignia were awarded, with exception of the highest awards (Israel Security Award, the Medals of Valor, Courage and Distinguished Service and the 4 types of citations).
In no case more than 3 ribbons or decorations shall be worn in one row.
