What Happened

The Tubasi family petitioned the High Court of Justice after, according to the source, settlers expelled it from its home in Jalud. The hearing took place against the backdrop of an army operation to evacuate illegal outposts in Jalud and Qusra.

What the Justices Saw

The report mentions video footage showing soldiers alongside settlers playing in the yard of the family’s home. Justice Alex Stein said that other footage showed a criminal offense being committed using a vehicle, and asked why the police had effectively abandoned further action and were not considering forfeiture.

The Panel’s Position

Supreme Court President Yitzhak Amit, Justice Alex Stein and Justice Yechiel Kasher heard the petition. The justices sharply criticized the army’s and police’s response; Stein, in particular, demanded an explanation as to why no one had been put behind bars. The state’s representative responded before the court, but the substance of his explanations is not provided in the source.

How the Hearing Ended

The source does not report that a judgment was issued, that a binding order was granted, that arrests were made or that property was forfeited. Neither the case number nor the specific legal norm on which the petition is based is stated.

What this means for you

The report shows that the High Court of Justice may require the state to provide explanations regarding inaction by the police and the army in the face of alleged violence and criminal offenses. However, it cannot be inferred from the article that the court has already ordered arrests, ordered the vehicles forfeited or issued a final decision on the petition.
