In the early hours of Sunday morning, the clocks were put back in Israel from 2am to 1am.
Summer ended Saturday night in Israel with the clocks being moved back one hour at 2am on Sunday morning to 1am. Israel will once again be two hours ahead of GMT rather than three hours ahead.
Summer time began in the early hours of March 30, and many Israelis will be disappointed that proposed legislation to extend summer time to the end of October in line with time changes in Europe and North America is stuck in the Knesset. Israel's religious MKs have traditionally pushed for summer time to end in the days before Yom Kippur to ease the fast, which thus ends one hour earlier in the evening.
