... that although the herb spiked savory is protected under Israeli law, the leaves of the plant are foraged by the local population, in preparation for making a spice mixture?

Comment: I have submitted two individual sources; one showing that the plant is protected under Israeli law, and the other showing how that it is foraged by the locals between April and June. I will also begin working on my QPQ, in the article Deval Masjid.

Comment, typically for DYK the target article is bolded and usually a single name would be chosen rather than both the common name and the scientific name. In addition, per MOS:COMMONNAME, the common name is rendered in lowercase. Thus, the best approach would be to have it as "spiked savory" for the purposes of the hook.
