Two Israeli women were arrested at Ben Gurion Airport with 100 kilograms of khat concealed in their suitcases, according to an unverified report. Security personnel were reportedly surprised by the quantity, and the women claimed they were unaware the substance is illegal. The khat seizure at the border raises questions about a possible smuggling operation. As The Zioneer reported on June 23, an earlier unverified report mentioned a 50 kg seizure in Poland — the connection between the two incidents has not been confirmed. The current case remains based on a single source; official confirmation from Israeli authorities is pending.
