Yom Ha'atzmaut (Israel Independence Day) Is Not on Shevat 30

Israel's Independence Day, Yom Ha'atzmaut, is observed on the 5th of Iyar (April/May in the Gregorian calendar)—not Shevat 30.

Shevat 30 is the day before Rosh Chodesh Adar; it has no fixed national holiday. The confusion may stem from the Hebrew calendar's variable alignment with Gregorian dates.
