Man killed during home invasion

A man was killed at his home in central Israel after fighting two masked robbers who broke in Sunday night.

Police were searching for the two suspects, who were thought to have entered and robbed the home on a moshav, or small agricultural community, near Ben-Gurion International Airport.

The 27-year-old and his wife apparently surprised the two masked thieves when they returned home. The victim was apparently killed when he was hit over the head with a blunt object, according to initial reports.

The two suspects were armed with electric tasers and cudgels, Ynet reported.
