Israeli authorities have charged a reservist and a civilian for allegedly placing bets on Polymarket using classified information about military operations. 

The specific details of the bets have not been disclosed but the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said the incident caused “no operational harm.” Neither of the indicted suspects, who face charges including bribery and obstruction of justice, has been publicly identified.

Israel’s public broadcaster Kan previously reported that the bets were placed in June, ahead of Israel’s conflict with Iran, with winnings totaling roughly $150,000.

“The defense establishment emphasizes that engaging in such betting activities, based on secret and classified information, poses a substantial security risk to IDF operations and to the security of the state,” the defense ministry said in a statement.

A spokesperson for the IDF said: “The IDF views with utmost severity any act that endangers the security of the state, particularly the use of highly classified information for the purpose of personal gain.”

“In response to the incident, measures have been taken and procedures will be reinforced across all IDF units to prevent similar cases from recurring,” the spokesperson added. 

Lawyers for the reservist told NBC News in a statement that their client is a man who has made a “significant contribution” to the state. 

“The indictment that was filed accuses our client of providing ‘confidential information when he is not authorized to do so’ after the State Attorney’s Office was convinced that there was no reason to attribute to him what was initially investigated as suspicion — an intention to harm national security. No serious security offense or negative motive is attributed to our client in this context,” lawyers Ran Cohen Rochverger and Naor Alon Sosnosky said.

It was not immediately clear whether the other defendant has legal representation.
