Yehuda Zimbris

Yehuda Zimbris, a 68-year-old resident of the moshav Michmoret in the Emek Hefer region, gained attention for capturing footage of two dusky sharks (Carcharhinus obscurus) near the beach at Beit Yanai. A lifelong sailor, Zimbris was building a house on the cliff when he spotted the sharks approaching the shore, causing a stir among beachgoers. His documentation contributed to discussions about the increasing frequency of shark sightings in the area, particularly due to environmental factors such as warming waters and fish mortality.
