Israeli authorities have charged an IDF reservist and a civilian accomplice with serious national security offenses after allegedly using classified military operations intelligence to place bets on Polymarket, a crypto-based prediction platform. Investigators say the suspects exploited sensitive IDF operational details, raising alarms about insider threats, espionage risks, and the dangerous overlap between online gambling and military secrecy. The case has triggered urgent counterintelligence scrutiny and tighter security measures across Israel’s armed forces.
