OSINT of Syria

Comprehensive OSINT toolkit for Syria

Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) is transforming the way we gather, verify, and act on information. We’re curating and analyzing the best open-source intelligence tools available for conflict monitoring, accountability, and investigative research. Our aim is to support journalists, analysts, and engaged citizens with actionable resources and insights.

This post is part of UNISHKA Research Service’s ongoing OSINT series. Subscribe to UNISHKA’s Substack and follow us on social media to stay updated. We regularly publish curated toolkits, case studies, investigative techniques, and real-world applications of OSINT in conflict zones and fragile states.
