Supporting Evidence/Contradictions:

• Multiple sources (Verification Source #1, #2, #3, #4, #5) confirm the Israeli airstrike near the Syrian presidential palace.
• The claim about sectarian violence targeting the Druse is not consistently supported by the provided sources. Verification Source #1 mentions sectarian tensions, but the other sources either don't mention sectarian violence at all or don't specifically link it to the Druse. This suggests a potential bias or oversimplification in the original article.
• Verification Source #4 mentions the overthrow of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, which provides a different context for the airstrikes than the original article.
• Verification Source #5 mentions that Syrians celebrated in the streets of Damascus following the toppling of Assad, which provides a different context for the airstrikes than the original article.
