now that it is beach season in Israel, I always think of that old line from Jaws!
Especially when shark season arrives.
Sharks in Israel?
Yessir.
We don't [yet?] get Great White sharks or Bull sharks or Tiger sharks, but we do get sharks. At least in recent years.
Tens of sharks tend to swim in the shallow waters off the coast of Hadera, due to the warm water from the local power station.
And Israelis love to go check them out and swim with them.
The Nature and Parks Authority recently put out a warning that people should not go, as these are wild and unpredictable animals. Even if they normally do not cause harm to humans, at any time that could change for unknown reasons.
Yet Israelis still go.
According to Algemeiner, these sharks are about 13 feet in length and weigh 770 pounds. That makes me wonder if somehow Chabad is involved or behind this in some way.
Ynet has some cool pictures of this as well, and says the authorities are looking into closing off the area to keep people away and out of potential danger..
