Hi, We obtained the *tzdata2024a* from IANA. Below is the Rule for *Asia/Gaza* extracted from *tzdata2024a*: * ...* *Rule Palestine 2022 2035 - Oct Sat<=30 2:00 0 -* *Rule Palestine 2023 only - Apr 29 2:00 1:00 S* *Rule Palestine 2024 only - Apr 20 2:00 1:00 S* *Rule Palestine 2025 only - Apr 12 2:00 1:00 S* ... *Asia/Gaza POSIX TZ string (generated by zic)*: EET-2EEST, M3.4.4/50,M10.4.4/50" The rule specifies that DST in 2024 starts on April 20th. Why then does the POSIX TZ string use M3.4.4? Is this a bug? or is there any other reason? Thanks. Best regards, Meng Chen
