Haifa Parents Demand Answers After Teacher Gives Unidentified Drops to Students

An unusual and troubling incident occurred on October 13, 2026, at the Leo Baeck School in Haifa, where a science teacher administered unidentified oral drops to third-grade students without parental knowledge or consent. Following the administration, children reported severe stomach aches, nausea, and vomiting.

Nearly a month after the incident, parents are still desperately seeking answers regarding the contents of the substance. According to parents, the product was reportedly brought from Tbilisi, Georgia, claimed to boost the immune system, but no packaging or ingredient list was ever presented. While the school principal initially claimed the drops were sent for laboratory testing, subsequent inquiries revealed no such tests were conducted, prompting parents to turn to the Ministry of Health.

Parents voiced deep frustration over institutional inaction, noting that the teacher continues to teach as usual. Some children experienced severe symptoms, and one student still undergoes medical treatments. The teacher reportedly defended her actions by stating she was pregnant, took the drops herself, and believed they were safe, referring to them as queen bee drops.

Faced with a lack of transparency and what they perceive as institutional evasion, several parents filed a formal police complaint on November 11. Police confirmed that an investigation has been launched to locate the bottle and examine its contents. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Education stated that the disciplinary proceeding has concluded, though details remain confidential due to privacy regulations.
