The clock in Ashkelon
Clocks change twice a year. Forward an hour on Friday, March 26, and back an hour on Sunday, October 31. The March 26 change comes in the early hours of a Friday, so that evening's candle lighting is already on the new clock.
Candles move 3 hours 13 minutes a year, 4:17 PM in early December to 7:30 PM in late June.

20 minutes before sunset in Ashkelon
Sunset is worked out for Ashkelon's coordinates, 31.67° N, 34.57° E, with @hebcal/core, the open-source calculation behind hebcal.com, and every time is shown on local clocks (Asia/Jerusalem). Shabbat ends at nightfall, when the sun is 8.5 degrees below the horizon and three stars would be out.
Twenty minutes is what Israeli calendars print for Ashkelon and most of the country, against 18 in most of the world. Jerusalem lights at 40 and Haifa at 30.
Each Friday is also worked out a second way, with this site's own sunrise equation, and the two are compared whenever the page is built. Some communities wait longer before havdalah, so treat the minute as close rather than binding, and follow your own community's calendar.
