A terrible tragedy occurred on Monday that terrified bathers.

A man was attacked by a shark just a few meters from the shore - right in front of numerous beach visitors who filmed the dramatic incident on their cell phones!

The diver was still desperately fighting for survival, trying to escape the predator - but the shark pulled him underwater and disappeared.

The police immediately arrived with a large contingent. They searched the sea from the air and from the water for hours - but initially without success.

As the Israeli news site Srugim reports, divers discovered the body on the seabed today, Tuesday.
