About

What This Is

An open-source intelligence dashboard tracking confirmed damage to US, Israeli, and Gulf state military and economic infrastructure during the ongoing conflict. The tracker aggregates reports from public Telegram channels, satellite imagery, and open-source damage assessments, then structures them into a searchable, map-based interface.

This project is independently maintained by a pseudonymous researcher. It is not affiliated with any government, military, or media organization. All data is sourced from publicly available material.

Methodology

Incidents are ingested and processed through a multi-stage pipeline:

1. 1

   Scraping. Telegram channels are scraped continuously for reports containing satellite imagery, damage assessments, and strike confirmations.

2. 2

   AI-assisted classification. Each report is passed through a language model that extracts location, coordinates, target type, damage level, and strategic significance from unstructured text and captions.

3. 3

   Manual review. Each incident is reviewed by a human analyst to verify classification accuracy, resolve coordinate ambiguities, and enrich records with additional context.

4. 4

   Cost estimation. Damage cost figures are derived from publicly available procurement records, defense contracts, and infrastructure replacement data. These are approximate values, not official assessments.

Important Caveats

• ▸

  AI-generated fake satellite imagery is a growing problem in conflict documentation. All imagery used in this tracker is cross-referenced against independent sources before being used to confirm an incident.

• ▸

  Planet Labs has extended a 14-day delay on publicly accessible Middle East satellite imagery. This limits near-real-time satellite verification and may cause gaps between reported and confirmed dates.

• ▸

  Source channels have varying editorial perspectives and relationships to the conflict. All reports are cross-referenced across multiple independent sources before being marked as confirmed.

• ▸

  Cost estimates represent approximate replacement or procurement values based on publicly available data. They are not official government or insurance assessments and should not be cited as such.

• ▸

  Verification levels assigned to incidents range from satellite-confirmed to unverified reports. Filter accordingly when using this data for research or publication.
