Every report on sitmap.live carries a verification state, and states change.

This event

Woman reportedly injured by Israeli army gunfire near Ittihad Club, central Gaza Strip is now Corroborated. Changed 2 times.

  1. First rated Unverified
  2. Unverified to Single source
  3. Single source to Corroborated

Verification describes the available evidence, not certainty that an event occurred. A change of state is a new rating on newer reports or rules, not a retraction.

Marked disputed or debunked

Reports that sources contradict (disputed) stay on the map and in this list, for the record; a report judged false (debunked) is taken off the map and not repeated here, so its claim does not spread.

The chart counts incidents still on the map. A debunked report is taken off the map when it is judged false, so its bar counts only one that is still shown, and reads 0 even when some were debunked. 4 reports were debunked and taken down in these 30 days; they are among the 523 withdrawn, and not named here. A report is debunked only when the review can point to what a claim itself says or shows (for example recycled footage, a retraction, or an impossible place or time); a doubt that cites no claim is shown as a warning, not a debunk, so debunks are rare.

Not counted: 1,790 leads (aggregator reposts that name no source).

Withdrawn events (merged, out of scope, removed on review or debunked) are not listed; when an event we posted on X is later disputed, debunked or withdrawn, the post gets a reply saying so.

Do early reports hold up?

Every event on the map starts as one report. These are all 6,762 events first reported since 2026-10-26 (leaving out the last 12 hours, too recent to judge), by where each stands now.

960corroborated or confirmed
18rated up with no new source
89disputed or debunked
331withdrawn
3,683single source
1,681unverified

960 (14%) were corroborated by an independent source or confirmed, a median of 2 hours after the first report. 18 (under 1%) reached corroborated or confirmed only when the same reports were rated again (changed rules or ratings, or a new review), with no new source: they are not counted as having held up. 89 (1%) were contradicted: marked disputed or debunked. 331 (5%) were withdrawn as out of scope or on review. 3,683 (54%) rest on one credible source, and 1,681 (25%) on no credible source: anonymous or partisan channels only, however many. Neither group has been confirmed or contradicted, which does not make them wrong.

Not counted: 1,067 leads, reposts by aggregator channels that name no source.

Changes to the rules

When the rules change, stored events are rated again on the same reports: a reclassification, not new evidence, counted apart above.

  1. Party rule. A party's statement about its own strikes, its interceptions or the enemy's losses no longer confirms an event; a neutral body, an authority's own record or an admission against interest still does.0 up, 61 down
  2. Strong-origin corroboration. An established or stronger origin plus any second independent one corroborates (before, the weights had to add up to 1.2); the stored weak events with two or more origins were rated again.106 up, 0 down

Air-traffic signals withdrawn or lowered

Drops in air traffic are detected by machine from ADS-B counts; one that rests on poor receiver coverage, or claims more than its evidence allows, is withdrawn or lowered.

  1. Kuwait airspace, drop detected 2026-11-08 05:52 UTCConfidence high to mediumThe usual hour here holds too few aircraft (median 19, lowest 17) for high confidence
  2. Israel airspace, drop detected 2026-11-06 22:35 UTCConfidence medium to lowThe usual hour here is too thin (median 16, lowest 4 aircraft entering) for more than low confidence

  7. Qatar airspace, drop detected 2026-10-30 09:57 UTCConfidence high to mediumNo airspace closure notice in force covers it, and a fall in the aircraft counted entering a FIR is never high confidence alone
  8. Iraq airspace, drop detected 2026-10-30 12:36 UTCWithdrawnOur receivers' coverage of the Baghdad FIR (ORBB) is thin: 69% of the polls over the 7 days before saw no aircraft inside it. A fall in the aircraft counted there is not evidence of a closure
