Amsalem heard people on the beach yelling “shark”, and then saw it circling him, at which point he quickly swam back to shore.
When he got to shore, he saw there were actually two sharks swimming fast in the water.
According to the report, sharks regularly swim in the area, staying in the deep water. There are no reports of any shark attacks along Israel’s coast.
