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”.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
