Israel's Nature and Parks Authority has issued a public warning about the dangers of entering the water near sharks that congregate annually by the Hadera power station. The authority urges citizens to exercise extreme caution and avoid swimming in the area.
In addition to sharks, the location poses risks due to strong currents, whirlpools, and discarded fishing gear, including sharp hooks and lines that can entangle divers. The authority noted that sharks have recently been sighted off other Israeli beaches, advising swimmers and divers to be aware of these potential hazards along the coast.
The warning follows a fatal incident in April 2025, when Barak Tzach was killed by a shark attack off a Hadera beach. This event serves as a stark reminder of the severe consequences of disregarding water safety rules.
