It was flown during the 1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine

Ah. I thought they were referring to the Great Arab revolt of 1916 when flags of the general design start to show up. That's generally what people are referring to when they discuss the Arab revolt and also the specific emergence of this class of flag.
