UAE Killing of rabbi is 'act of antisemitic terror' - Israel

Benjamin Netanyahu's office issued a statement about the death of Zvi Kogan, who worked in the UAE for an Orthodox Jewish group called Chabad and had not been seen since Thursday.

"The state of Israel will use all means at its disposal to bring the criminals responsible for his death to justice," the Israeli prime minister's statement said.

Late yesterday, UAE authorities said they had arrested three people over the attack. The Emirati interior ministry did not give further details on the suspects but said the ministry would use "all legal powers to respond decisively and without leniency to any actions or attempts that threaten societal stability".
