<div id="ygrps-yiv-2131468961">The Palestinian territories in Israel briefly become daylight-saving<br/>
enclaves in spring and autumn, since they change their clocks on<br/>
different dates from Israel. This can have important consequences. At<br/>
5pm on Sunday 5th September 1999, three Israeli Arabs were blown up by<br/>
a bomb they were in the act of planting. The Israeli investigators<br/>
concluded that the bomb had been built and primed on Palestinian<br/>
territory, and set to go off at 6pm Palestinian Summer Time. But the<br/>
men entrusted to plant the thing had their watches set to Israeli<br/>
Standard Time (an hour earlier), because the rest of Israel had<br/>
shifted its clocks back on Friday 3rd September.<br/>
