A man was killed by a shark in the Mediterranean Sea after shouting "I'm bitten, I'm bitten" before being dragged away. His remains were later recovered. The victim, Barak Tzach, was swimming near Hadera, Israel, despite warnings about sharks in the area. Witnesses reported seeing the attack, which occurred after he had been using a GoPro stick to gently push the sharks away. Authorities are investigating the incident, the first fatal shark attack in Israel since 1940. The cause of the increased shark presence is debated, with theories including fishermen's actions and a power station's warm water discharge.
