Lebanon split into two time zones in row over daylight saving

Government's last-minute decision to delay clocks going forward caused confusion and deepened religious division

With some institutions implementing the change while others refused, many Lebanese have found themselves in the position of juggling work and school schedules in different time zones - in the same small country.
