It is unknown what caused his 11-year-old son to fall into the water.

A Magen David Adom intensive care unit arrived at Tel Baruch beach in north Tel Aviv where they found the father in a state of unconsciousness. After attempting for 45 minutes to revive him, he was pronounced dead. The man's family was present during the entire incident.

Initial examinations suggest the man was in the water for several minutes. Nearby surfers noticed him and dragged him out of the water, by which stage he had already lost consciousness. The son is in good condition at this time.
