Israeli military apologises for posting wrong map of India
The Israeli military on Saturday apologised for posting an incorrect map of India's international boundaries on X.
The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) admitted that the map, which wrongly showed Jammu and Kashmir as part of Pakistan, "failed to precisely depict borders" but claimed it was only an "illustration of the region".
The IDF's post followed tweets by Indian users, many furious, pointing out the error and urging the Israeli military to retract the post. Some even tagged Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu.
The map that kicked up the storm was posted on X on Friday evening, as part of a tweet underlining Tel Aviv's perception of Iran as a “global threat”.
