In response, the IDF admitted that the map “fails to precisely depict borders”.
“This post is an illustration of the region. This map fails to precisely depict borders. We apologize for any offense caused by this image,” IDF said on X.
“Iran is a global threat. Israel is not the end goal, it’s only the beginning. We had no other choice but to act,” the IDF earlier posted along with the incorrect map, justifying the launch of Operation Rising Lion against Iran. The Israeli Air Force also posted a short video carrying a similar map, showing the range of the Iranian missiles.
In response to the controversy, Israeli Ambassador to India Reuven Azar on X described the map as “bad unintended” infographics.
He said he had already asked to get the map removed/fixed.
India has consistently maintained that Jammu and Kashmir, along with Ladakh, is an integral part of the country. PTI NSA ZH NSA NSA NSA
