Browsed around southern Lebanon. When zoomed in, they appeared to have very similar coverage of villages, landmarks, infrastructure, etc. Inconsistencies seemed similar to those found in other regions.

There are noticeable differences in how the mapping systems handle war zones. Things like traffic conditions are often disabled. You also get really interesting directions near war zones. For example directions between Chaplynka and Armiansk. The Apple and Google routes are very different!
