Israel Summer Time is about to end, with the clocks to turn back overnight between Saturday and Sunday.
At 2am Sunday, the time will revert to 1am (changing from UTC+3 to UTC+2). Winter Time, as it is known in Hebrew, will then continue until March 24, 2017.

Interior Minister Aryeh Deri, under whose purview the time change takes place, posted earlier this week on Facebook, "This coming Sunday, 220 days of summer time will come to an end, similarly to the summer days existing in most European countries. As in Europe, the residents of Israel have also enjoyed the light during most days of the year."
