Invalid DST boundaries/utc_transition_times

[Vijay Kal]

pytz version: 2019.2
Per olson database for Israel:
# As of 2013, DST starts at 02:00 on the Friday before the last Sunday
# in March. DST ends at 02:00 on the last Sunday of October.

Israel will still be under daylight savings on Oct 9th 2019 , but pytz incorrectly identifies this date does not have any DST offset (offset = 0)

Python code to recreate:
print bool(timezone('Asia/Jerusalem').dst(datetime(2019, 10, 9), is_dst=None))

This returns False, should ahve been True

Additional Info:
I see that we have incorrect DST boundaries for various zones.
If we have invalid boundaries any check to see if a given date is in DST during this invalid period would be incorrect.

P.S. Sorry I also did ask a question (9683902) regarding this

More Info:

from: https://git.launchpad.net/pytz/tree/tz/asia

Rule:

# Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S
Rule Zion 2013 max - Mar Fri>=23 2:00 1:00 D
Rule Zion 2013 max - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S

Per this rule DST end's on last sunday of October which is October 27, but per pytz it ends on October 05, 2019.
Do we know whey we have wrong transition time reported for Asia/Jerusalem eventhough the database has correct info?

Had pytz-2012c previously manually installed ..sorry for the confusion and waste of your time.
the rule came from older database which was installed with pytz-2012c
