A fisherman from Jisr al-Zarqa, Nimer Jamil Al-Mukhtar, has caught a mysterious silver fish with golden fins off the coast of Israel, sparking curiosity among marine professionals. The fish, described as having a wide, flat, silver body, long, sickle-shaped golden fins, and a forked tail, is unfamiliar to local fishermen.

The unusual catch has been transferred for scientific examination to determine its exact species and understand how it arrived in the Mediterranean waters off Israel's coast. Experts are investigating its origin and the circumstances of its appearance in the area.

While the fish is believed to belong to the pompano group, the scientific tests will confirm if it is a rare specimen or a species previously undocumented along Israel's coastline. The incident highlights the crucial role of professional fishermen in monitoring changes in the marine environment, as they are often the first to notice the appearance of unknown species.
