In 2001, a Jerusalem court ordered Haaretz and Amira Hass to pay 250,000 shekels to Beit Hadassah residents following an article reporting allegations of mistreatment of the body of a Palestinian who had been killed. The judgment was entered by default because a defence had not been filed within the deadline.
