The Ministry of Health and the Israel Police have issued a public warning against products marketed as 'Gat drops', after laboratory tests revealed they contain methamphetamine, a dangerous synthetic drug with high addiction potential. The products were marketed under the guise of a natural product derived from the gat plant, but in fact contained the dangerous drug. The authorities emphasize that this is a serious phenomenon, as consumers may use the products under the impression that they are a natural preparation.

The authorities call on the public to avoid purchasing and consuming these products and to report any suspicion of their marketing.
