The dubious information portal "specialja.com" has published an article titled "Israeli Ambassador: Whoever touches Kosovo will have a war with us."
After fact-checking conducted by hibrid.info, it turns out that the title of this article is fabricated and does not correspond to the content in the text.
Also, the news is old, published in September of last year, when the Israeli ambassador to Serbia, Yahel Vilan, had said that his country "recognized the independence of Kosovo on September 4 and that the work of mutual recognition is no longer a matter of discussion."
So, he never declared that "Whoever touches Kosovo will have a war with us", as falsely claimed in the title of the article published on "specialja.com".
