Unfortunately, I can’t find much on the legal implications of this. To me it seems like the Israeli flag being involved allows for hate crime charges. It’s still legal to burn an Israeli flag (assuming you can’t get nailed on arson charges, which is a likely scenario), but in this case the battery charge of someone allegedly yanking on a piece of clothing was elevated to a hate crime because of the Israeli flag.
