The new POSIX definitions for daylight-saving in Israel are:
 # The law has been changed (2012-11-05): As of 2013, 
 # DST starts at 02:00 on the Friday before the last Sunday in March. 
 # DST ends at 02:00 on the first Sunday after October 1 
 # unless it occurs on the second day of the Jewish Rosh Hashana holiday, in which case,
 # DST ends a day later (i.e. at 02:00 the first Monday after October 1
 #Rule   NAME    FROM    TO      TYPE    IN      ON           AT      SAVE    LETTER/S
Rule	Zion	      2013	     max     -         Mar      Fri>=23  2:00     1:00     D
Rule	Zion	      2013	     2026    -        Oct       Sun>=2  2:00	     0          S
Rule	Zion       2027	     only     -         Oct      4              2:00     0          S
Rule	Zion	      2028	     2053    -        Oct      Sun>=2   2:00	     0          S

In 2013 the change to DST is the same as before: 29-Mar-2013
However the change to Standard time has moved from 28-Sep to 6-Oct

This has been officially announced by the Knesset (Israeli parliament) but the documents are in Hebrew 
I do not know whether this falls under 'bugs' or 'update request'
