The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) apologised today for putting up a photograph of Malaysia's Suria KLCC and captioning it as a "lavish Gaza mall" in the IDF blog.
Israeli news portal Haaretz reported that the IDF spokesperson had apologised on its Twitter account for the caption and photograph, saying it was ?a mistake made in good conscience".
This was after another online media outlet, Electronic Intifada, had revealed that the mall is actually Suria KLCC located in the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur.
The blog, akin to a tourism brochure, had been started to counter claims that Gaza, once a hostile strip in the nation, is facing a humanitarian crisis.
It was reported that when the mistake was revealed, the picture was taken down, adding that it was important to note, however, that "the post contained 17 accurate pictures which properly reflected the subject in question". - August 16, 2013.
