Shark Attack Mystery: Scientist Unveils Theories Behind Horrifying Ordeal of Man Feared Dead

Ever wonder what happens when a great white shows up to a Mediterranean party uninvited? Clearly, olvidar el protocolo humano didn’t cross its mind. On April 21st at Hadera’s Olga Beach, a chilling scene unfolded. Here’s me, a seasoned blogger with a love for peculiar maritime anecdotes, trying to wrap my head around the fact that a nine-foot dusky shark decided it was snack time. And not the kind that involves chips or guacamole, but a human-sized morsel.

The footage of this shark, casually swimming past as beachgoers watched cluelessly before the attack, has naturally gone viral. The horror of this event isn’t just a tale but a stark reality – the video capturing a man screaming for his life as the shark attacked him. I mean, you expect to chill by the beach, not literally become part of the ‘chill’ for a shark.

Now, this wasn’t the shark’s first rodeo. Hadera, about 25 miles north of Tel Aviv, witnessed its fourth shark attack in history. It’s got you wondering: why is this happening right at our shore?!

Dr. Adi Barash, a marine biologist, shared some troubling insights. Sharks. They get stressed with all this human noise, the touching, the feeding – all the stuff we do thinking it’s all in good fun. “People must avoid touching or feeding them — they are not pets,” he warns, reminding us that this time of year is peak feeding for the sharks due to warmer waters and holiday rains.

But here’s the kicker, the warm water from the Orot Rabin power station, creates a current so strong it attracts these sea nomads closer to our beaches. “The warm water creates a current as strong as the Jordan River,” Professor Dov Zviely explains. And with fish dying off due to increased water temperatures, there’s a buffet happening just off our coast.

So, what we’ve got is not just a curiosity but a trifecta of environmental impacts on coastal safety. It makes you think, right? And while we’re all here for the sun, the surf, and sipping our favorite cocktails by the beach, maybe it’s time we give a little respect to Mother Nature’s creatures.

Intrigued to know more about why these marine lovers of the deep have bitten at our shores? <a href="https://www.ladbible.com/news/crime/scientist-explains-israeli-shark-attack-

A scientist has explained why sharks may have been swimming so close to the Mediterranean coast, resulting in a man getting attacked on an Israeli beach.

The horrific shark attack took place at Hadera’s Olga Beach in the Middle Eastern country on Monday (21 April), with the unidentified victim’s body being discovered by local police today.

Footage of the shark prior to the attack went viral online, as beach goers could be seen observing the sea animal and pointing it out as it swam around them.

People in the water were simply cooling off from the warm weather, as temperatures of 27°C swept the area.

The man can be heard screaming for ‘help’, signalling that he was being bitten as those around him looked on in shock.

During this, the fourth such attack in Israeli history at a beach located 40km (25 miles) north of Tel Aviv, members of the public can be heard speaking to authorities in a video of the man being mauled by the shark.

One can be heard saying: “There’s someone here that a shark has bitten. He’s screaming, ‘Help!’ He’s in the sea at Hadera. He’s drowning.

“He’s in the sea. Nobody’s coming to save him.”

A spokesperson for the Israeli police stated: “Several findings have been sent for testing, and we await the results.”

But the question still lingers: why was the shark swimming so close to the shore?

It is said that most of the sharks that are spotted around Hadera are dusky sharks, which are around nine feet long.

The specific species go through long migrations every year to stay in warm waters in the winter, and though they aren’t normally aggressive to humans, their behaviour can be altered by those around them.

Dr Adi Barash, a marine biologist, explained: “Heavy human presence stresses the sharks,

“People must avoid touching or feeding them — they are not pets. This is peak feeding season for the sharks, due to increased fish mortality from warming waters and recent holiday rains.”

He highlighted: “Authorities must take steps to prevent harmful interactions and ensure the safety of these protected animals.”

The man was swimming near the Orot Rabin power station, where the water was warmer due to the plant, as Professor Dov Zviely from the Ruppin Academic Center’s School of Marine Sciences explained why this may have attracted sharks to the shore.

“The warm water creates a current as strong as the Jordan River,” he said to The Mirror.

“The sharks come because of the heat but also because many fish wash down from the Alexander Stream, providing a steady food source.”
