StellarCrowandClaude Fable 5.1 499fd61f79 feat(sources): fetch linked URLs for the 252 spreadsheet-only cases
Until now only cases 357+ (plus a few older ones) had their linked URLs
fetched; the other 252 dossiers held just the text pasted into the
spreadsheet, often only the lede. This pass fetches every linked URL for
those cases so the full text is on file before link rot takes it.

- stage_all.py: new --include-sheet-cases flag that lifts the skip on
  cases holding spreadsheet articles. Resumable as before.
- staging/: raw extracts and index.json for the 252 cases.
- sourced-articles.json, case-files-manifest.json: 188 new UNTRIMMED
  blocks. 179 cases gained at least one fetched article; 73 got none
  (49 BLOCKED, 18 THIN, 9 DEAD, 4 video/social, 3 ERROR).
- sources/*.txt: rebuilt with build_cases.py --all. Sheet pastes are
  kept; fetched blocks sit beside them under the NOT YET TRIMMED banner.
  Files previously committed with CRLF are now LF.
- wayback-availability.json: Wayback snapshots exist for 73 of the 98
  failed URL slots; input for an archive-fetch pass.
- README-START-HERE.md: progress note and next step.

verify_all.py PASSES (1836 checks).

Assailants of Israeli tourists stole around $700,000 in bitcoin
Eleven Israeli nationals were at a social event when they were violently approached by a group of at least eight individuals.
The attackers targeted a group of Israelis at Santa Teresa beach in Cóbano, Puntarenas, and reportedly succeeded in stealing about $700,000 worth of bitcoin.
Eleven Israelis were engaged in a social gathering when at least eight men arrived in two luxury vehicles and violently confronted them (see attached video by Telenoticias).
The Judicial Investigation Organization (OIJ) believes those who attacked the Israeli tourist group may have police training.
It is unclear whether all Israelis live in Costa Rica or were just visiting, but they were gagged and forced to hand over their belongings.
Telenoticias confirmed they managed to steal at least $700,000 in bitcoin, leading to suspicions that someone close to the victims knew about their financial movements.
Security camera footage shows several of the criminals moving the victims from place to place, wearing what appear to be police uniforms and shirts.

Asaltantes de turistas israelíes sustrajeron unos $700 mil en bitcoin
Once personas de nacionalidad israelí estaban en una actividad social cuando fueron abordados violentamente por un grupo de al menos ocho sujetos.
Por Álvaro Sánchez 8 de agosto de 2024, 19:44 PM
Los asaltantes de un grupo de israelíes en playa Santa Teresa de Cóbano, en Puntarenas, habrían logrado sustraer unos 700 mil dólares en bitcoin.
Once personas de nacionalidad israelí estaban en una actividad social cuando fueron abordados violentamente por un grupo de al menos ocho sujetos que llegaron en dos vehículos de alto valor (vea video adjunto de Telenoticias).
El Organismo de Investigación Judicial (OIJ) considera que los que asaltaron al grupo de turistas israelíes, tendrían entrenamiento policial.
No está claro si todos los israelíes viven en Costa Rica o estaban de visita, lo cierto es que fueron amordazados y obligados a entregar sus pertenencias.
Telenoticias confirmó que lograron sustraer al menos 700 mil dólares en bitcoin, razón por la cual se sospecha que alguien cercano sabía de los movimientos financieros de los afectados.
En un video de una cámara de seguridad se observa que varios de los delincuentes trasladan a las víctimas de un lugar a otro y que cuentan con lo que parecen ser uniformes y camisas policiales.
Cualquier información que usted tenga sobre el hecho sobre los sospechosos puede comunicarse de forma confidencial al 800-8000-645.
