❗️🦈🇮🇱 - On April 21, 2025, a shark attack off Olga Beach, Hadera, Israel, left an Israeli diver presumed dead.
The diver, spearfishing near the Hadera River estuary, was attacked after attracting a shark with blood from his catch, as seen in eyewitness footage showing blood-tinted waters.
Despite searches by Magen David Adom, Hadera Police, and the Israel Nature and Parks Authority using jet skis and helicopters, only the diver’s equipment was recovered.
The incident occurred in an area where endangered dusky and sandbar sharks gather due to warm waters from the Orot Rabin power plant.
Olga Beach and nearby coastal areas from Caesarea to Netanya are closed to swimmers until further notice.
