About JSILTracker

JSILTracker is a war crimes documentation and geolocation platform focused on occupied Palestine. It centralizes information from multiple verified sources to provide a comprehensive, map-based view of incidents and conflict zones.

Methodology

Events are sourced from established humanitarian organizations, independent monitoring groups, and verified media reports. Each event is tagged with a source reliability rating:

• Green — Data from organizations with verified, peer-reviewed methodology (e.g., ACLED, B'Tselem, Airwars)
• Yellow — Data from generally reliable but inconsistently verified sources (e.g., aggregated reports, social media with corroborating evidence)
• Red — Unverified or single-source reports included for completeness but flagged as unconfirmed

Data Sources

We integrate data from organizations including:

• ACLED (Armed Conflict Location & Event Data)
• B'Tselem (Israeli Information Center for Human Rights)
• Airwars (Civilian Harm Monitoring)
• Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor
• OCHA (UN Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs)
• PCHR (Palestinian Centre for Human Rights)
• Defense for Children International — Palestine

Contributing

Authorized team members can submit events through the admin panel. All submissions enter a review queue and must be verified by an editor before appearing on the public map.
