Exploze při Macronově návštěvě zranily v Damašku nejméně 18 lidí

Index ověření faktů: 88/100 — Every external fact in the article is attributed to one of the three listed sources (BBC, Al Jazeera news, Al Jazeera video), and each attribution carries an inline link matching a source in the list. Citation coverage is essentially complete: the wounded count, the four police officers, Macron being unharmed, and the palace welcome are all sourced. The article is internally consistent and appropriately cautious — it explicitly flags that cause, location, and responsibility are unconfirmed, and its 'Bigger picture' section labels its own inference as a hypothesis with counter-arguments. The main limitation is unverifiable: without the source texts, the specific figures (18 wounded, 4 police officers) and the palace-welcome detail cannot be confirmed against the titles, though they are plausible and consistent with the source headlines about explosions during Macron's visit. Minor plausibility note: the source titles reference explosions and Macron's safety but do not themselves corroborate the casualty breakdown, which rests entirely on the Al Jazeera news article.

• At least 18 people were wounded by explosions in Damascus on Tuesday during Macron's visit, per Syria's Interior Ministry via Al Jazeera. — Attributed and linked to the Al Jazeera news source, whose title corroborates explosions during Macron's visit; the specific figure of 18 cannot be verified against the title alone but is plausible.
• Four of the wounded were police officers, per the Interior Ministry via Al Jazeera. — Properly attributed and linked; the casualty breakdown is not reflected in any source title and cannot be confirmed without the full text, though it is consistent and plausible.
• The blasts were reported as the French president was in the city (Al Jazeera video). — Attributed and linked to the Al Jazeera video source, whose title 'Explosions in Damascus as French president visits' directly matches.
• Macron was unharmed, per the BBC. — Attributed and linked to the BBC source, whose title 'Macron safe after explosions in Syrian capital' directly corroborates.
• Syrian state television said the Syrian president welcomed Macron at the presidential palace, per the BBC. — Attributed and linked to the BBC source; the palace welcome detail is plausible and consistent with the 'Macron safe' headline but not directly verifiable from the title.
• The cause, exact location, and any claim of responsibility are not stated in the available reports. — An internal-consistency claim about the article's own sourcing; the piece correctly refrains from asserting cause or perpetrator and flags this in a callout.
• The visit signals Paris's attempt to re-engage Syria's new leadership amid political transition (analysis). — Framing/context not tied to a specific source; presented as interpretation rather than sourced fact, and reasonable given the event.
