Red Sea shark attacks dominate the conversation in the foreign press

A spate of shark attacks off the Red Sea coast are continuing to make headlines internationally this morning: A Romanian woman became the second person to die after being attacked by a shark in Sahl Hasheesh on Saturday. Her body was found 600 meters away from where a 68-year-old Austrian woman was fatally injured in a separate attack just hours earlier. Beaches in the area have been closed and the Environment Ministry is looking into the attacks. (Reuters | Sky News | Haaretz | The National | Telegraph | New York Post)
