Netanyahu’s office described the killing of Rabbi Kogan as an "enemy-related security incident," and vowed to take all necessary actions to apprehend those responsible.

According to "Israeli" newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, Rabbi Kogan's car was found abandoned in a city about an hour and a half from Dubai. Authorities suspect that three Uzbeks abducted and killed him before fleeing to Turkey.

An Israeli Occupation delegation traveled to the UAE to investigate the incident, which has raised widespread concern.

Rabbi Kogan had been married for just six months, and his wife is the niece of Gavriel Holtzberg, a Chabad emissary killed in the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
