It's interesting that they don't say the missile was intercepted over or near Israel. Or that it impacted in Israel.
The said they saw a launch towards Israel. Which, in the strictest meaning, could even be true for a launch originating and terminating in Iran. That'd be unlikely to be visible from Israel but...
"a missile... seen from... the West Bank, June 24, 2025" doesn't specifically say it's the missile the narrative is referring to. That's the intended assumption but that photo could have been before the ceasefire went into effect and still June 24 local time.
It's sad that every word in a Reuters article has to be examined for the most unintuitive, but technically correct, interpretation but that's where we are with journalism now.
Edit:
- At 06:08 BST, Donald Trump posted on social media that a ceasefire between Iran and Israel had come into effect
- Just over an hour later, Israel said it had agreed to the US ceasefire proposal, while Iran said earlier it would stop attacking if Israel did the same
- Then at 08:30, the Israeli military said it had identified missiles launched from Iran and intercepted them over northern Israel
- Iran has denied firing any missiles, but the IDF insists Israel will "respond with force"
Emphasis last line. Hopefully the US has enough surveillance of its own that it can tell where they originated without relying on foreign intel.
