Bug Description
The new POSIX definitions for daylight-saving in Israel are:
# The law has been changed (2012-11-05): As of 2013,
# DST starts at 02:00 on the Friday before the last Sunday in March.
# DST ends at 02:00 on the first Sunday after October 1
# unless it occurs on the second day of the Jewish Rosh Hashana holiday, in which case,
# DST ends a day later (i.e. at 02:00 the first Monday after October 1
#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 2026 - Oct Sun>=2 2:00 0 S
Rule Zion 2027 only - Oct 4 2:00 0 S
Rule Zion 2028 2053 - Oct Sun>=2 2:00 0 S
In 2013 the change to DST is the same as before: 29-Mar-2013
However the change to Standard time has moved from 28-Sep to 6-Oct
This has been officially announced by the Knesset (Israeli parliament) but the documents are in Hebrew
I do not know whether this falls under 'bugs' or 'update request'

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
