Israel Warns of Shark Danger at Hadera Power Plant Outflow

Israel's Nature and Parks Authority issued a severe warning about sharks gathering at the Hadera power station's warm water outflow, a phenomenon occurring annually from November to May. The authority cautioned against swimming, diving, or snorkeling in the area due to unpredictable shark encounters, strong currents, and discarded fishing gear, recalling a fatal incident in 2025. Sharks are a protected species, and disturbing them is illegal, with authorities urging the public to observe them from a safe distance on shore.
