Last week, we tweeted in response to a misleading caption below a Guardian video segment on Israel’s interception, over the Golan Heights, of an Iranian missile fired (by Iranian troops) from Syrian territory.
Wrong @guardian, it wasn’t a “Syrian missile” that was fired at Israel. It was an #Iranian missile fired from Syrian territory. pic.twitter.com/E9q3USIdsi

We contacted Guardian editors, who upheld our complaint and removed the false claim that it was a “Syrian” missile.
