An Israeli tourist was murdered in Cuba Sunday while on vacation with his wife.

Initial details from the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem indicate that the man was stabbed to death a short time after leaving his hotel in Havana.

Local police said the couple left the hotel when they were attacked by about eight robbers. The couple was forcefully separated and the man was taken into an alley where he was robbed and stabbed to death.

It is not yet known whether the man was killed because he attempted to resist the criminals.
