LCA 3675/09 - State of Israel v. Daud et al. Judgment
Judgment in an application for leave to appeal the District Court's decision that the State was liable for the damage the military had caused to Palestinians' greenhouses in a land-clearing operation. The appeal is granted. The Supreme Court rules that the elements of the tort of negligence were absent as to military's land-clearing operation. Nonetheless, contrary to the State's position, it rules that Amendment 4 of the Civil Wrongs (State Liability) Law does not apply to events which occurred prior to its enactment.
