Shark attack victim's remains found in waters off popular beach in Israel after 2-day search

A man in Israel has died after he was attacked by a shark, police and the victim's wife said Wednesday, after he went swimming in an area that draws dozens of the marine predator and also curious beachgoers.

After a two-day search, police said remains that had been found at the site of the attack on the country's Mediterranean coast matched those of the man. Israeli media identified him as Barak Tzach, a man in his 40s and a father of four.

A shiver of endangered dusky and sandbar sharks has been swimming close to the area for years, attracting onlookers who approach the sharks and drawing pleas from conservation groups for authorities to separate people from the wild animal.
