Direct Defence Contracting & Procurement

CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. is a Delaware corporation, and its 2026 filings identify an Israeli corporate presence that includes CrowdStrike Israel R&D Ltd. and A.S. Adaptive Shield Ltd. 1, 2

CrowdStrike acquired Bionic Stork, Ltd. in September 2023 and Flow Security Ltd. in March 2024, with the FY2025 filing identifying both as Israeli subsidiaries and describing their businesses as application-security-posture management and data security, respectively 3, 4

CrowdStrike announced its acquisition of Adaptive Shield in November 2024 as a SaaS-security-posture-management and SaaS-threat-protection transaction 5

No public evidence identified of a CrowdStrike contract, tender award, framework agreement, or memorandum with the Israeli Ministry of Defense, IDF, Israel Prison Service, Border Police, or another Israeli state-security body.

The Israeli Ministry of Defense Mission to the United States describes a vendor-registration and RFP-access process, but its public vendor page does not identify CrowdStrike as a registered vendor or disclose an award to it 6

No public evidence identified of a SIBAT or Israeli defence-export-directory listing, defence-exhibition listing, or official announcement connecting CrowdStrike to an Israeli state-security contract.

Dual-Use Products & Tactical Variants

CrowdStrike’s terms classify products, tools, and documentation supplied to U.S. Government Users as commercial items and commercial computer software 7

CrowdStrike markets Falcon as a cloud-native endpoint-security platform, and its Department of War material states that the Gov-2 environment received a U.S. Department of War Impact Level 5 provisional authorization in May 2023 for national-security systems and controlled unclassified information 8

That U.S. authorization does not establish supply to Israeli military or security bodies 8

CrowdStrike’s reviewed public materials describe endpoint protection, threat detection, threat hunting, exposure management, malware analysis, and security-operations support 8, 9, 10

No reviewed source describes a CrowdStrike product designed to generate kinetic targets, make weapons-targeting decisions, operate fire-control, or integrate weapons effects 8, 9, 10

No public evidence identified of an Israeli military-specific CrowdStrike product variant, export-licence application, end-user certificate, or export-control review for sales to Israeli military or security end-users.

Heavy Machinery, Construction & Infrastructure

No public evidence identified that CrowdStrike equipment, vehicles, or machinery has been used in settlement construction, demolition, the separation barrier, military installations, or other occupied-territory infrastructure.

No public evidence identified of CrowdStrike construction, engineering, facilities, or infrastructure contracts for checkpoints, detention facilities, bases, the separation barrier, or settlements.

The supplied report-level pre-scan found no CrowdStrike mention in the specified local copies of the OHCHR settlement-business database updates, A/HRC/59/23, PAX’s Companies Arming Israel and Their Financiers, Al-Haq’s Business and Human Rights, and other enumerated reports 11

OHCHR states that its 2023 reassessment covered the 112 companies in the 2020 database and does not purport to provide a complete list, so absence from that document cannot establish a broader absence of settlement-related activity 11

Supply Chain Integration with Defence Primes

No public evidence identified of CrowdStrike supplying components, sub-systems, specialist manufacturing, cyber products, or services to Elbit Systems, Israel Aerospace Industries, Rafael, IMI/Elbit Land, or another identified Israeli defence prime.

No public evidence identified of CrowdStrike joint development, co-production, technology transfer, or licensed manufacturing with an Israeli defence manufacturer.

The reviewed acquisition disclosures characterize Bionic, Flow Security, and Adaptive Shield as cybersecurity, data-security, application-security, identity-security, or SaaS-security businesses rather than weapons, munitions, kinetic-targeting software, or Israeli military contractors 3, 5

CrowdStrike’s partner terms permit sales through distributors and direct or indirect resellers, but the reviewed material does not identify an Israeli military end-user, Israeli defence intermediary, or partner operating in occupied territory 12

Logistical Sustainment & Base Services

No public evidence identified of CrowdStrike contracts for base services, transport, fuel, facilities maintenance, telecommunications, freight forwarding, port handling, or military-cargo logistics for Israeli forces or security bodies.

CrowdStrike’s documented products are cybersecurity services rather than transport, facilities-management, construction, or military-logistics offerings 8, 9, 10

Munitions, Weapons Systems & Strategic Platforms

No public evidence identified that CrowdStrike manufactures, integrates, maintains, or supplies lethal platforms, munitions, strategic-defence systems, missile-defence systems, military aircraft, armoured vehicles, warships, weapons guidance, radar, propulsion, fire-control, or warhead components to Israel.

A pre-2020 CrowdStrike GovCloud brochure describes a cloud-delivered endpoint-security service for U.S. public-sector and Department of Defense applications, including cyber-threat detection and prevention, rather than a weapons or targeting system 10

The current continuation of the specific 2017 brochure is unknown 10

Export Licensing, Regulatory & Legal History

CrowdStrike’s terms require compliance with applicable export and import laws and restrict transfers to embargoed countries and designated persons, but they do not identify Israel as embargoed or disclose a CrowdStrike-specific licence, licence denial, suspension, revocation, enforcement action, or Israeli military end-user 7

Israel’s Ministry of Defense export-controls authority describes the general registration and licensing framework for Israeli defence exports 13

No CrowdStrike-specific licence decision or enforcement record was identified in the reviewed public material 13

No public evidence identified of sanctions or arms-embargo enforcement, litigation, judicial review, OECD complaint, ICC or ICJ filing, or regulatory proceeding concerning a CrowdStrike defence-supply relationship with Israel.

Civil Society Scrutiny & Documented Investigations

The supplied deterministic pre-scan found no CrowdStrike mention in the specified local canonical reports, including the 2023 and 2025 OHCHR settlement-business database updates, A/HRC/59/23, PAX’s 2024 report, Al-Haq’s 2024 report, and the enumerated Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, BankTrack, BDS, KLP, and Who Profits materials 11

This is a document-scoped finding and does not establish database-wide or real-world absence of a relationship 11

No public evidence identified of a CrowdStrike-specific boycott, divestment, exclusion, or civil-society campaign concerning Israeli defence activities, or of a related corporate response, termination, or end-use-monitoring commitment.

CrowdStrike’s 2026 proxy identifies George Kurtz as co-founder, President, CEO, and director, while BlackRock and Vanguard Capital Management were the only disclosed beneficial owners above 5% as of 3 April 2026, at 6.70% and 7.27% respectively 14

The same proxy reports that no disclosed beneficial owner exceeded 10%, that Kurtz’s beneficial ownership was below 1%, and that directors and executive officers as a group held 1.67% 14

A June 2026 Jerusalem Post report states that Kurtz participated as an investor in Aryon Security’s $25 million Series A round and describes Aryon’s founders as veterans of the IDF Center for Encryption and Information Security 15

That report supports a principal-linked investment in an Israeli cybersecurity start-up founded by former IDF personnel, but it does not identify Aryon as an IDF or Ministry of Defense vendor or show that CrowdStrike supplied products or services to Israel 15

The CrowdStrike Foundation is a U.S. 501(c)(3) with Kurtz listed as director and president, and its IRS-derived records report charitable disbursements of $1,511 in 2024 and $1,611 in 2023 16

CrowdStrike’s 2025 proxy describes the Foundation as a donor-advised fund managed by Charities Aid Foundation and states that corporate philanthropy supported more than 100 nonprofits globally, without identifying Israel- or Palestine-related recipients in that disclosure 17

A 2017 Belfer Center biography identified Dmitri Alperovitch as CrowdStrike co-founder and CTO at that time, but it does not establish a current control position 18
