Default Israeli ? enamel badge

I have had this badge a while now but could never find out what it was ( though it was Red Cross related but I've been told not ). I'm not even sure it's even military related. Can anyone point me in the right direction for research.

Regards Ben

Looks more like a Moroccan star to me, but Morocco as a Muslim country would use the Red Crescent rather than the Red Cross - so perhaps it dates back to French colonial days?

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the input , I thought it looked like the Star Of David hence I thought it was Israeli but after looking at a Moroccan star I realised the Magen David is a hexagram.
