Where is the TZ environment variable that governs the seasonal transitions for the selected time zone. The winter > summer transtion here is calculated by the Hebrew calendar, not the Gregorian, and a Gregorian TZ variable won't work right. In OS/2 I had to make a script to compute the transtion dates, and I suppose I will have to do the same thing for SUSE.
I don't really know about this, but reading the timezone information in the glibc source code, it looks like the "Israel" timezone takes into account the rule they call 'Zion', and according to the text it's fairly up to date, they include a law from March 2004 passed by the Knesset setting DST rules from 2005 onwards So as far as I can see, you shouldn't have to do it yourself, just set the timezone to Israel in YaST and the rest should take care of itself
