An Israeli national has been arrested in Italy on suspicion of smuggling 216 kilograms of khat, a stimulant plant, according to a single unverified report. The report, which circulated on the source, provides no further details about the arrest location or the suspect's identity. The amount seized is among the largest reported in recent years. The Zioneer has previously covered several khat smuggling incidents involving Israeli nationals, including cases in Poland and at Ben Gurion Airport, but this arrest appears to be unrelated to those cases.
