Terrifying reports have confirmed the death of a diver who was killed by sharks off the coast of Israel.

He has now been identified as the loving father of four who used a GoPro camera stick to try to fend off the predators, as per his grieving family.

Barak Tzach reportedly jumped into the water to film sharks at the beach in Hadera when a chilling video showed him flailing in the water, screaming for assistance.

He was reportedly attacked and dragged out to sea.

When the sharks started getting so close to him, he used the GoPro stick to push them away, and his family shared this with Israel National News.

The grieving relatives denied rumors that the father was trying to feed sharks. Others were seen doing the same at the beach in the past week, and didn’t have any bait at the time when he went inside.

A fisherman who was able to witness that attack mentioned how he tried to swim alongside the shark and later moved a little further out. He was clicking the sharks from a distance but didn’t touch or feed them.

Tzach was heard yelling for help. ‘They are biting me!’- before he was dragged further out to the sea, as per the Times of Israel.
