Hai alarm in front of Israel's coast: Missed man wanted for attack!

The coast of Israel is the focus of worrying events after body parts were found after a shark attack near Hadera. The emergency services searched the area for hours, which is about 50 kilometers north of Tel Aviv. The search continued in the early morning after a 40-year-old man had been reported missing from a suburb of Tel Aviv. The man was married and had four children. In the region, sandbar and black sharks collect between November and May, which are attracted from a nearby power plant by warm water. As a rule, these characters are considered not dangerous for humans, but it remains unclear which shark is responsible for the attack. Interestingly, shark attacks in Israel are extremely rare, which makes the situation even more alarming. According to the Kleine Zeitung, the circumstances that led to this incident are still unclear.

The police have paid more attention to the situation due to the severity of the incident. Even if sharks are usually not aggressive and are not considered dangerous, the police fear that this could be a potentially deadly haiata attack. So far there is no precise information about which shark is responsible for the attack, which makes the puzzle and concern all the greater, as SPIEGEL reported. In addition, the topic of shark attacks in the region becomes more and more sensitive because such situations can have a significant impact on the local population and tourism.

sharks in the Mediterranean and their threats

While the incident in Israel draws attention to sharks, it is also important to look at the general situation of the shark population in the Mediterranean. Many sharks in the Mediterranean, such as blue sharks, are often injured. The white shark, once frequently, is very rare today. Agustí Torres, chairman of the Shark Med association, is committed to the protection and research of these animals, which have decreased significantly in recent decades. In Spain, where shark meat is consumed, fishing, especially long -distance fishing, has created an alarming threat to sharks. In fact, 98% of the sharks in the Mediterranean have disappeared since the 1950s, which significantly reinforces the ecological effects on the entire maritime ecosystem. According to [Costa Nachrichten] (https://www.costanachrichten.com/spanien/land-leute/haie-spanien-mittelmeer-hai-mallorca attacks-fischerei-hai--blauhai-91753695.html), there are still 54 sharks in the western Mediterranean.

sharks play an important role in regulating the natural food chain, and its progressive decimation could have serious consequences for the Navy ecosystem. Shark Med therefore demands sustainable fishing and more protected sea areas to ensure the survival of these important species. Sharks are often misunderstood and have a bad image, although the statistics show that, for example, dogs are more dangerous for people than sharks. Haie often show curious behavior and are usually not aggressive towards people. It is estimated that the global shark stock has decreased by 70% since 1970, which reinforces the urgency of action.
