Narrative
Flying Aircraft X TLV-ZZZ. During climbout we got ADS-B L EICAS warning. I ran the Non-Normal checklist which had us switch the Transponder to R. Immediately got ADS-B R EICAS. Followed by GPS EICAS. I selected the GPS Interference Supplementary Procedure. Reading through the procedure; it is divided into phase of flight. First DESCENT; then PREFLIGHT; and finally CLIMB. Since I was in the CLIMB phase of flight; I went straight to that section of the procedure. Climbing through FL250 it directs us to select GPS NAV - ON then RAD NAV INHIBIT - ON. This is actually the exact opposite of what we want to do while climbing with GPS Jamming. I had to improvise the procedure by using the DESCENT section (despite climbing) which directs us to correctly select GPS NAV - OFF and RAD NAV INHIBIT - ON.This Supplementary procedure should be assessed by the Fleet and rewritten so that it is usable when needed.The GPS was jammed by the Country X until we were approximately 250 miles west of TLV. At that time; GPS worked normally and the flight proceeded uneventfully.
