The Israeli airstrikes targeted Hezbollah positions across Lebanon, with strikes reported in Beirut, though the specific targets hit in the capital and the extent of damage or casualties remain unclear. Concurrently, Apple's Lebanon map has gone viral on social media, drawing attention from activist groups. The Freedom Flotilla Coalition claimed on Instagram that Apple has erased villages and towns from the map.
According to the coalition, this erasure is part of the propaganda machinery of genocide. In response, the coalition is calling for a boycott of Apple, though Apple has not yet responded to the allegations or boycott call, and the specific villages or towns allegedly erased and the evidence provided by the coalition are unknown. The Freedom Flotilla Coalition, which was behind the action when Greta Thunberg tried to travel to Gaza, has a history of activism in the region, adding context to its current claims.
