Asia/Hebron zone (thanks to Steffen Thorsen and
Alexander Krivenshev).
(The different end of DST in Gaza and Hebron in 2008
is also reflected.)

(thanks to Yauhen Kharuzhy, Alexander Bokovoy,
Alexander Krivenyshev, and Kirill A. Shutemov).

(thanks to Alexander Krivenyshev).
"Russia" rules changed to reflect end of use in 2010.
