Dubai rabbi Zvi Kogan killed in ‘heinous terror incident’ says Israel - Netanyahu vows to ‘seek justice’ over death of Zvi Kogan in Dubai

Israeli intelligence is investigating the disappearance of Israeli-Moldovan citizen Rabbi Zvi Kogan in the United Arab Emirates in what is being called a "terrorist incident."

“The murder of the late Chabad emissary Zvi Kogan in the Emirates is a cowardly and despicable antisemitic act of terror,” Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said on social media after Kogan’s body was discovered. “The State of Israel will not rest nor be silent until those responsible for this criminal act pay for their actions.”

Israel’s months of fighting with the Hezbollah militant group have stoked anger among Emiratis, Arab nationals and others living in the UAE.

The United Arab Emirates' interior ministry said on Monday that the suspects arrested in the alleged killing Israeli-Moldovan rabbi Zvi Kogan were from Uzbekistan, the state news agency WAM reported.
