The decision to fly the Israeli flag was made after a request from central government, both Sheffield City Council and Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council said.

I see now it's not limited, I've not read the news much.

Grim indeed. And showing a Palestinian flag isn't support of Hamas. It's solidarity. You simply can't put an Israeli flag on a government building and support their government actions.
