Good Morning Britain has been slapped with 318 Ofcom complaints after a blunder during an ITV war report.
The complaints come after an incorrect map was broadcast on June 19 during coverage of the Israel conflict.
A map displayed on the show depicted the Golan Heights to be part of Israel.
However, the basaltic plateau is actually located in southwest Syria, along the border of Israel, Jordan and Lebanon.
According to the Mirror, presenter Ranvir Singh introduced Richard Gaisford who was reporting live from Tel Aviv when the inaccurate map appeared on screen.
The UK Government recognises the Golan Heights as occupied territory.

The next day, according to the Mirror reporter Sean Fletcher (pictured) clarified the mistake
Some viewers noticed the map and took to social media to share their thoughts.
One penned on X: ‘The Golan Heights is part of Syria, but #GMB continues to show it as part of Israel.’
Another added: ‘Disgusting ‘reporting’ from and total misinterpretation of Golan Heights.’
The next day, according to the Mirror, reporter Sean Fletcher clarified the mistake.
He said: ‘Yesterday we showed a graphic map which included the Golan Heights as part of Israel.
‘The UK government views the Golan Heights as occupied territory and does not recognise Israel’s annexation of the land, and we are happy to clarify that.’
It comes after Good Morning Britain viewers shared a lot of complaints as Martin Lewis replaced Richard Madeley this week.
Typically, the ITV news programme features Susanna Reid and Richard as presenters, but on Wednesday’s instalment, the consumer guru stepped up to host.

It comes after Good Morning Britain viewers shared a lot of complaints as Martin Lewis, pictured, replaced Richard Madeley this week
Susanna and Martin worked their way through the day’s top stories but some watchers weren’t best pleased about the shake-up.
Many took to social media to share their thoughts on Martin co-hosting the show and one penned on X: ‘Ruins my morning having to listen to Martin – time for Eamonn I think.’
‘Martin Lewis with his shouty “do this” “do that” and jumping over furniture so early in the morning may just be too much for me,’ another added.
Someone else said: ‘I just don’t have the head for Martin Lewis at this time of the morning.’
