Source Provenance
sources

Source provenance must stay inspectable if the investigation is going to remain defensible.

This route exposes which outlets, watchlist entities, and cross-reference heuristics the external-event registry actually rests on.

cross-reference filters

Narrow the current section by spike month and flair without losing the route context.

source topology

Local Arabic and Lebanese source classes stay visible as first-class evidence inputs.

caption

The source layer should never disappear behind the charts. This breakdown makes it explicit which kinds of outlets the external-event registry actually depends on.

language mix

The registry is deliberately multilingual because micro-incidents often do not survive translation into wire coverage.

Language coverage is not cosmetic here. Arabic, French, and English layers have different likelihoods of surfacing obscure names, local villages, and daily ceasefire-violation details.

caption

This table keeps provenance explicit. If a future claim depends on a source class, the user should be able to see that dependence rather than infer it from narrative prose.

trigger map

Trigger heuristics tie event classes back to likely subreddit responses.

primary
assassination_or_named_targeted_killing

Named commander or operative deaths often trigger celebration, mockery, blame attribution, and identity performance.

primary
major_mass_casualty_day

High-casualty days can trigger fights, humanitarian argument, denial, or shifts toward collective blame.

primary
normalization_or_border_talk_signal

These events map unusually well to the subreddit's peace-branding and Palestine-avoidance/suppression hypotheses.

primary
christian_party_or_historical_memory_speech

Geagea, Kataeb, or Bashir Gemayel references may activate Christian militia nostalgia, sovereigntist rhetoric, and historical-cooperation narratives.

primary
post_ceasefire_micro_incident

Small named-village strikes, detentions, or overflights are ideal for detecting unusually granular awareness inside subreddit comments.

primary
iran_or_syria_spillover_shock

Regional spillover events can trigger anti-Iran framing, anti-Hezbollah narratives, and reframing of Lebanon's risk.

primary
blanket_evacuation_or_displacement_order

These events can sharply change tone, panic, moral framing, and state-failure discourse.

tier_1_triggers
assassination

High activity, celebration in anti-Hezbollah circles, debate over proportionality

caption

This is the bridge between event logging and investigation. It says which kinds of incidents are most likely to map onto celebration, hostility, normalization, or state-failure rhetoric inside the archive.
