From news article source:
https://www.al-monitor.com/:
A red-field flag with yellow/goldenish
slogans being passed by a Turkish-backed Syrian fighter of the "Sultan Murad
Turkoman brigade/division" is pictured during a military show in the Afrin
region in the rebel-held northern countryside of Syria's northern Aleppo
province on Nov. 17, 2020. - BAKR ALKASEM/AFP via Getty Images. I'm guessing
that the basic Muslim "shahada" or "proclamation of faith" is on the top line,
and the bottom line in Arabic is "Sultan Murad Turkoman brigade".
Wikipedia:
"The Sultan Murad Division is an armed rebel group in the
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrian_Civil_War, created around a
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrian_Turkmen identity. It is aligned with the
Syrian opposition and are heavily supported by Turkey, which provides funding
and military training."

The Syriac Military Council has its own flag, white with its emblem.

Also used
together with the Syrian pre-1958 flag, amended with the words "Allah Akbar"
placed between the stars (like was done in the 1991-2004 Iraqi flag:

All of the above examples reveal that the colors currently used by
Wikipedia are not quite correct - FOTW colors R and Au can be safely used for
red and gold, respectively.
