Jaws, Hadera Version: Sharks Return to Israel's Shores - A Glimpse into Their Wild Lives

Dozens of sharks have returned to the shores of Hadera near the "Orot Rabin" power station. Authorities have set up barriers following last year's tragedy. Experts warn: "Apex predators, they should only be observed from the shore."

Dozens of sharks have returned to the shores of Hadera, near the "Orot Rabin" power station, with the arrival of winter. The phenomenon attracts curious onlookers and nature enthusiasts, but this year authorities are taking extra precautions following last year's tragedy, in which Barak Zakh z"l lost his life. Dr. Aviad Sheinin, a marine researcher, explains that the sharks are attracted to the warm water discharged by the power station, and identifies two main species: the dusky shark (pregnant females) and the sandbar shark (males). Photographer Shlomi Loveton, who documented the sharks from the air, calls on the public not to approach or feed them. The Hadera municipality has placed barriers and warning signs along the beach.
