  • IDF reservist and civilian indicted over alleged use of classified data for Polymarket bets.
  • Joint Shin Bet, police probe leads to security, bribery and obstruction charges.
  • Court lifts gag order, confirms no senior defense officials are implicated.

Israeli prosecutors have filed charges against an Israel Defense Forces reservist and a civilian accused of using classified military information to place wagers on the prediction market platform Polymarket. The indictment, submitted Monday to the Tel Aviv District Court, marks a rare case in which alleged misuse of sensitive operational details intersected with online event-based betting tied to wartime activity.

Authorities said the case centers on the exploitation of confidential information during active military operations. According to a prosecution-approved summary released after a partial lifting of a gag order, investigators allege that the reservist accessed classified information through military service and used it to inform wagers related to Israeli military actions.

Charges Filed After Joint Security Investigation

The suspects were arrested in a coordinated operation involving the Shin Bet, also known as the Israel Security Agency, a Defense Ministry investigative unit, and the Israel Police. Prosecutors stated that evidence collected during the investigation led to charges that include serious security offenses, bribery, and obstruction of justice.

The prosecution has requested that the court extend the defendants’ detention until the conclusion of legal proceedings. Further identifying details, including the names of the accused and specific information about the wagers, remain under court-imposed restrictions.

The indictment follows reports in recent weeks that Israeli authorities were reviewing whether insider information had been used to profit from prediction markets connected to Israeli military operations in Iran in June 2025. KAN News previously reported that the Shin Bet was examining suspicions involving potential misuse of classified data within the defense establishment.

No Senior Defense Officials Implicated

Media outlets reported that the indictment does not involve senior defense officials, despite speculation that circulated online during the period when a sweeping gag order was in effect. Ynet reported that the charges do not include allegations framed as intent to harm state security.

The court authorized publication only of a limited outline of the allegations and the investigative bodies involved. Additional case details remain sealed.

The investigation has highlighted the use of prediction markets, where participants trade shares linked to future events. Polymarket, which allows users to bet on geopolitical and other developments, has been referenced in prior reporting concerning unusual, high-confidence wagers tied to Israeli military activity.

However, Israeli authorities have not disclosed the scale of the alleged wagers or the financial sums involved. The case continues under judicial review in the Tel Aviv District Court.

However, the Fed is expected to start the monetary-easing campaign despite the United States (US) inflation remaining higher. Investors will closely monitor press conferences from both Fed Chair Jerome Powell and BoC Governor Tiff Macklem to get cues about whether there will be more interest rate cuts in the remainder of the year.
