ABOUT & SOURCES

What Sentinel tracks, where the live wire comes from, and what it is not.

01 · WHAT THIS IS

Sentinel is a Middle East conflict monitor. The headline wire and the video panel pull real, live reporting from public news feeds, refreshed server-side every 15 minutes. Theater briefs, incident grading and readiness level are an editorial model maintained by this console.

02 · LIVE WIRE SOURCES

Al Jazeera — news RSS, aljazeera.com
France 24 — Middle East RSS, france24.com
UN News — Middle East RSS, news.un.org
Deutsche Welle (DW) — world RSS, region-filtered

03 · THEATER MODEL & FIGURES

Theater board — five regional theaters, status chips: ESCALATED / ACTIVE / CONTAINED / CEASEFIRE.
Casualty / displacement figures — compiled from UN OCHA / situation reporting and clearly dated "as of" in the console; they lag live events and are rounded.
Conflict-day counter — computed client-side from 2023-10-07.
Readiness (DEFCON-style) level — an editorial composite, not an official indicator.

DISCLAIMER

Live headlines, timestamps and links are real. Theater briefs and casualty figures are editorial estimates dated as-of; verify against primary sources before relying on them for any decision.
