A tourist from Florida died Tuesday while hiking during a heat wave in Israel on a trail to the ancient Jewish fortress of Masada, the police said. The tourist, a 20-year-old woman whose name was not made public, fell about 16 feet at the Masada site, and her body was found after about an hour when other hikers realized she was missing. A police spokesman said she had been dehydrated and had not been killed by the fall.
