Israel News Montitoring Dashboard

December 30, 2024 ยท View on GitHub

This repository provides open-source documentation for building news monitoring dashboards designed to track fast-moving geopolitical events in Israel. The dashboards are intended for residents who want to stay informed, particularly during Jewish holidays when many refrain from using electronic devices, focusing on official governmental news channels and public safety alerts.

Clone Repo With Submodules

This repository has submodules to dynamically populate the news links as well as the public shelter lists which are maintained as separate repositories.

To clone this repository along with the submodules run the following:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/danielrosehill/Israel-News-Monitor

Cloning Submodules After Cloning Main Repo

If you cloned the main repository without the recursion command for the submodules you can run the following to pull the submodules:

git submodule init
git submodule update

The intended use-case includes deployment on tablets running in kiosk mode, TVs, or similar hardware, enabling an easy and accessible way to track important news updates, particularly during times of heightened tension.

Data Sources

See the data-sources folder which attaches two informational repositories as submodules. Data is offered without warranty as to its relibility.

Public shelter links aggregates municipalities' maps of public shelters (miklatim) while news links aggregates RSS feeds and other news sources that might provide additional monitoring targets.

This utility was created for the benefit of English speakers living in Israel and wishing to keep appraised of ongoing geopolitical developments with a "bird's eye" news monitoring type interface.

Kan (Israel's state broadcaster) is free to air in Israel. The Red Alert system will not display results without an Israeli IP.

If you don't live in Israel and are just interested in following the news - this is not the tool for you!
