Israeli authorities called the killing of Rabbi Zvi Kogan an act of terrorism. The Emirati government said it had arrested three people in connection with the murder.

An Israeli citizen missing in the United Arab Emirates has been found dead, Israeli authorities said on Sunday, in what they described as an “antisemitic terrorist act.”

Mossad and authorities in the Gulf country had opened an investigation into Kogan's disappearance believing it may be related to “a terrorist incident.”
