Pages and accounts on social media circulated reports, with their publishers claiming that a military coup had taken place inside the Presidential Palace in the capital, Damascus.
The Kashaf team verified the circulating reports through direct contact with local activists and a source at the Presidential Palace, and found that these reports are untrue: the activists and the source denied what the claim stated, and confirmed that no military coup had taken place inside the Presidential Palace.
Why is this claim misleading?
Reports promoted without evidence: The claim was circulated without relying on any reliable information or evidence, and in a manner that contradicts the denial by local and official sources that any military coup took place inside the Presidential Palace in Damascus.
