The Petah Tikva Magistrates Court was compelled to release 26 individuals who had been arrested for residing illegally in Jaljulia, following a significant procedural failure by law enforcement and prison authorities. Although the court had approved indictments and ordered their continued detention, the defendants were not brought to their scheduled hearing, nor was a video conference arranged, despite explicit judicial instructions.

After a two-hour delay and continued absence of the detainees, the judge ordered their release. Subsequently, the court's administration deleted the indictments against them, highlighting a breakdown in the legal process and raising concerns about the handling of such cases by the authorities.
