Israelis Lose Even More Sleep As Clocks Move Forward For Daylight Saving

Jeruslaem, Israel - Mar. 27, 2026 - Already exhausted by nearly four weeks of missile fire overnight from Iran and Lebanon, Israelis lost an hour of sleep overnight Thursday-Friday, with clocks jumping forward one hour, from 2 a.m. to 3 a.m., marking the start of daylight saving time.
Daylight saving time will end on October 25, 2026.
Israel made the move nearly three weeks after the US, where most locations changed the clocks on March 8.
In 2013, the Knesset passed legislation extending daylight saving time from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October.
