Israel returned to standard time last weekend, as the yearly daylight saving time period comes to its end.
 
At 2 am on the night between Saturday 26th September and Sunday 27th September, clocks were reset one hour backwards to 1 am.
 
According to the Daylight Savings Act (DST) adopted by the Israeli parliament in 1992, Israel inducts summer time every year at 2 am, on the last Friday before April 2, while standard time must be reintroduced at 2 am on the Sunday between the Jewish New Year, and Yom Kippur- Day of Atonement, the most solemn and important of the Jewish holidays.
 
Daylight saving time will return on March 26, 2010, and will last until September 12 – a total of 170 days.
