Yes, exemption from paying a filing fee is granted in certain cases. The Courts (Fees) Regulations, 5767-2007 specify types of litigants who, by virtue of their status, are entitled to an exemption (e.g., litigants with financial difficulties who meet certain conditions).
In cases where a litigant wishes to obtain an exemption from the fee, they must attach a request for exemption from payment of the fee to the writ of summons, along with certain documents specified in the regulations according to the type of exemption sought. For example, a litigant claiming an inability to pay the fee must attach to the request an affidavit detailing their assets, the assets of their spouse and parents (if dependent on them), and their income sources in the six months preceding the date of the request. In this regard, a sample form published by the judiciary may be used.
