Thank you, this means that the change will be at 1am, not midnight, this is the difference.
The clocks on the article are a little confusing since it does seem to show 2AM to 1AM ... which is obviously wrong :) Or ignoring the arrow, and reading from right to left then 1AM Jumps to 2AM and I think I would read "as of one o'clock" to mean at one the clocks jump forward. But this is a fairly common problem with these announcements? They can be a little imprecise as to when the event happens ....

Thanks. The tz database already predicts that on Saturday, 2016-03-26, at 00:00 local time, Gaza and the West Bank will jump ahead by an hour. Google Translate converts the above web resource (which is in Arabic) to "... will be daylight saving in Palestine as of one o'clock on Saturday morning, 03/26/2016, to provide the clock 60 minutes ahead". This matches tzdata if "as of one o'clock" refers to the time after the transition, not the time before. Does this sound good to you?
