Israelis turned their clocks back an hour overnight Saturday, marking an end to daylight saving time in 2024.

Clocks were officially turned back at 2 a.m. early on Sunday morning.

They will be turned forward again on March 28, 2025.

In 2013, Israeli lawmakers passed legislation extending daylight saving time from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October.

The United States will switch back clocks on Nov. 3.

The Gulf state accompanied its X post with an image of a Seder plate and matza.
Hezbollah launched some 100 rockets coupled with drones at the Jewish state since the start of the holiday.
The Iranian-backed group attacked Israelis as they marked the Exodus, just as the Amalekites attacked the Israelites when they left Egypt, the defense minister said.
The film documents the circumstances of the small rural town of Gniewoszów, focusing on one of its last living survivors, along with a resident who says he saw Jews murdered there six months after the Nazis’ reign of terror ended.
The episodes will “reveal fascinating stories,” IDF Spokesperson Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said.
“This week we are reminded that with true faith, eternal hope and the power of prayer, nothing can stop the people of God.”
