Israeli police and the Ministry of Health have uncovered the distribution of methamphetamine, a dangerous and highly addictive synthetic drug, disguised as a natural product called "Khat Drops." Laboratory tests confirmed the presence of the illicit substance in seized products, which pose a significant risk to life. The marketing of dangerous drugs under the guise of natural products is a serious concern, exposing the public to severe health dangers, often without consumers realizing they are consuming a controlled substance. The Ministry of Health urges the public to avoid purchasing or consuming any products marketed as derived from the khat plant, including "Khat Drops," and to report any suspected distribution to law enforcement. Extracts and preparations containing khat are classified under the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance, making their production, marketing, and consumption illegal.
