Methodological Note
All statistics and incident descriptions in this dashboard are drawn directly from the cited sources. Where figures differ across sources (e.g., casualty counts reported at different dates), both figures are preserved with their respective dates and sources. Incidents marked as "Verified" are those for which Amnesty International, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, or other organizations have independently corroborated the documented facts through satellite imagery, open-source verification, or multiple independent witnesses.
