At 2am Thursday night - Friday morning March 22/23, clocks should be moved forward by one hour.
At 2am tonight, Friday morning March 23, Israel's daylight savings (summer time) begins. Clocks should be moved forward by one hour at 2am to 3am. Daylight savings this year will end on Saturday night/Sunday morning October 27/28 when clocks will be put back an hour.
Daylight savings is designed to allow an extra hour of daylight in the evening to increase economic production, save on energy costs and enhance leisure options.
Smartphones and computers are usually automatically programmed to change the time.
