Forwarding a followup on the Gaza change with Roozbeh Pournader,

Roozbeh,

Here's the information that the tz database people have regarding the upcoming time change in Gaza. I was just curious if the original Arabic notice implied a specific time. The previous data had the transition occurring at 1:00 AM.

The public tz database project has already updated this year's change to be at midnight, based on the reports linked here.

Andy,

I can confirm that the Arabic text itself doesn't mention either midnight or 1am. 

Interestingly, there were links from the felesteen.ps article to time change articles last year, and those are contradictory about midnight vs 1am:

This says midnight: http://felesteen.ps/details/news/78832/%D8%BA%D8%B2%D8%A9-%D8%A8%D8%AF%D8%A1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D9%85%D9%84-%D8%A8%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D9%88%D9%82%D9%8A%D8%AA-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B4%D8%AA%D9%88%D9%8A-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AC%D9%85%D8%B9%D8%A9.html

While this says 1am: http://felesteen.ps/details/news/78745/%D8%A8%D8%AF%D8%A1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D9%85%D9%84-%D8%A8%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D9%88%D9%82%D9%8A%D8%AA-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B4%D8%AA%D9%88%D9%8A-%D8%A7%D8%B9%D8%AA%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%A7-%D9%85%D9%86-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AC%D9%85%D8%B9%D8%A9.html
