He was said to have swum with a shark before veering slightly away and into a more open area. He didn’t touch or feed the sharks, but he did record them from a distance.
He gently pushed them away with the GoPro’s stick as they began to approach him too closely,” she wrote. According to Sarit, her husband was assaulted while swimming back to shore.
According to the Associated Press, the beach is a popular destination for tourists because of the frequent presence of dusky sharks and the endangered sandbar shark.
According to Israeli media site Ynet News, the sharks are attracted to the warm water from the adjacent Orot Rabin power station. Even though swimming is prohibited at the beach, people nevertheless go in the water.
According to reports, social media footage posted on the same beach just before to the Monday assault showed a shark swimming close to and amongst kids.
