A distraught family discloses that their father was killed by sharks in the Mediterranean.

In a desperate attempt to save his life, the family of a father of four killed in an Israeli shark attack stated he tried to bat the monster away.

During the fatal event that took place on Monday, April 21, at Hadera’s Olga Beach in front of frightened beachgoers, Barak Tzach vanished beneath the waves.
