An Israeli journalist was hit with death threats and harassment from gamblers who lost millions on a Polymarket prediction market bet. The gamblers wanted him to change his reporting on an Iranian missile strike in Israel. The journalist, Emanuel Fabian, shared what happened to him publicly.
Fabian’s trouble started after he reported that an Iranian ballistic missile hit the city of Beit Shemesh on March 10. The missile landed in an open area and no one was hurt, so it seemed like a minor, straightforward news story at the time.
