The Israeli police searched the Mediterranean coast for a swimmer that feared that he could have been attacked by a shark, in an area in which there are long encounters between marine and beach visitors who sometimes are looking for.
A shower of endangered gloomy and sand bench sharks has been swimming near the area for years and attracts spectators who approach the sharks and ask for nature conservation groups so that the authorities separate people from the wild animal.
Natural groups say these warnings have become unnoticed. The police and rescue workers started a search along the coast after reporting that a shark had attacked a swimmer on a beach near the city of Hadera. The fire brigade and rescue authority of Israel announced on Tuesday afternoon that it had found the remains of a corporation that was brought to the Forensic Institute for Identification.
The beach was closed on Tuesday when search teams used boats and underwater equipment to look for the man. The man’s identity was not immediately known, but Israeli media said that he went swimming with the sharks.
Israelis flocked to the beach in large numbers during a one -week vacation and shared the water with a dozen or more sharks. Some pulled the fines of the sharks while others threw fish to eat.
Dark sharks can grow up to four meters long and weigh about 350 kilograms. The sandbar sharks are smaller and grow to about 2.5 meters and 100 kilograms.
Yigael Ben-Ari, head of the Marine Ranger Force of the Israel Nature and Parks Authority, said it was not known how the man had behaved. But he said the public should know that it should not enter the water when sharks are present and not to touch or play with them.
Witnesses report Haie in the area
A video divided by the Israeli media showed a shark that swims in thigh water until the bath.
“What a huge shark!” The man moves out when the shark approaches him. “Whoa! He comes up to us!”
“Don’t move!” He begs a boy nearby who replies: “I’m going.”
The man then asks: “What, are you afraid of the sharks?”
The behavior, of which an Associated Press photographer was observed a few days before the attack, flew to the Park Authority’s Council.
“Like every wild animal, the behavior of the sharks can be unpredictable,” said the authority in a statement.
According to Ben-Ari, this would only be the third shark attack in Israel. One person was killed in an attack in the 1940s.
The area in which warm water, which is released by a nearby power plant, has flows into the sea for years, has attracted dozens of sharks between October and May. Ben-Ari said swimming was prohibited in the area, but swimmers still enter the water.

Hair attacks on humans are often a result of false identity when they confuse a floating person or a surfboard with a seal or sea lion. Researchers have found that a light pattern of LED lights can dissolve the visual pattern of a swimmer so that they look less like the usual prey of a shark. Dr. Lucille Chapuis was part of the team, which tested various light patterns in Seal Island, South Africa. Your research was published in the current biology.
“It would have been appropriate to take measures to maintain and regulate public security, but over the years chaos has developed in the region,” said society to protect nature in Israel, an environmental group.
It is said that fishermen, boats, divers, surfers and snorkelers crossed themselves dangerously with a wild animal that “is not used to being crowds”.
The group said further steps were necessary to prevent similar incidents, e.g.
The Israeli authorities closed the beach and others nearby on Monday and closed on Tuesday.
