The Israeli military on Saturday apologised for posting a map that incorrectly depicted Jammu and Kashmir as part of Pakistan after objections from Indian social media users, clarifying that the image "fails to precisely depict borders".

"Now you understand why India remains neutral. In diplomacy, no one's really your friend," one user commented on X.
In response, the IDF admitted that the map "fails to precisely depict borders".
