Police in Cyprus say a story is not true. A man was not hurt because he spoke Hebrew. The police say the fight was between people from Israel. It was not because of hate.
A false story started on Monday. Many news sites said a Jewish man was hurt. They said he was attacked. This sounded like a hate crime. But the police have a different story.
Police say the fight was at a hotel. It started because of an argument. People from Israel were in the fight. It became a physical fight. The hurt man wrote that he is okay.
Police told a newspaper that the story is not true. They said the man argued with others from Israel. He wrote that he has no problems. There was no hate involved.
The man did go back to Israel. The fight was serious. But police do not think it was a hate crime. They want to stop false stories. People should check facts.
